As individuals struggle to become revolutionaries,
they usually progress through eteges. If the provess
continues, they not only see the need to fight, but aise pre-
pare themselves to do so. Kot all revolutionaries are f
fighters; thia te natural because in making revolution,
People must engage in a wide range of practice. Some
comredes must agitate among the exploited workers in the
factories, mines, fields and among the unemployed. Some
engage in cormuinity etruggles around welfare, education, —
human rights, Gkyld care, medical care, the aged, youth,
women &nd racisme Those who engage in mass work of this

atart the fight, the peovle become demoralized and fall
from that organization.
Leaders who behave in thie Bay, are reactionary, ego-
tistical, opportunist and anti-revolutionary, since their
actions allow only for the continued grouping and re-
grousing of the same revolutionary people for the fight
that never comes.
Cne must organize in support of something; one does
