make their rules more elastic, their organisation more flexible, their policy more militant. They must enlist as an army, be self-disciplined for attack and defence, and, above all, equip their spirits with courage and their minds with knowledge. They have both to organise to gain the victory and then to maintain and consolidate the positions they have won. They have to carry through the Revolution, and in such a way as to make it impossible for the expropriated class to rally the discontented ones and achieve a counter-Revolution. The workers must be ready, therefore, to take over and to carry on all the machinery of production, the public utility services and the necessary social arrangements. The time has passed for vague aspirations, for moral maxims, for catch phrases, and for emotional satisfaction. We must learn, we must organise, we must act, we must conquer, and this we shall do if we have but Sense and Courage! Courage and Sense!
