“The
Social-Democrat’s (i.e. Revolutionary Socialists before 1914 – LCFI) ideal should
not be the trade union secretary, but the tribune of the people, who is able to
react to every manifestation of tyranny and oppression, no matter where it
appears, no matter what stratum or class of the people it affects; who is able
to generalise all these manifestations and produce a single picture of police
violence and capitalist exploitation; who is able to take advantage of every
event, however small, in order to set forth before all his socialist
convictions and his democratic demands, in order to clarify for all and
everyone the world-historic significance of the struggle for the emancipation
of the proletariat.” Lenin. [i]
