problematize this

[Charles Brown]

Of course, the insurrection is only
the very beginning of the revolution,
but true revolutionists uphold
the principle that the test of truth
is practice (experiment and industry).
Facts and logic are a step in this
process, but to stop there is 
empiricist contemplationism 
(as Marx critiqued in The
Theses on Feuerbach, especially
number 1). Materialism demands
that one move from facts and
logic to practice as the final
test of truth.

There is ,of course, trial and
error in that practice. 

Come with me ,professors, out
of your theoretical fields (campuses) of 
Elysium into the real world.
Reality is not only insurrectionary
but revolutionary.

Now there you go Max with that old bourgie trick of claiming "facts and
logic" as exclusive class property. It's too early in the morning to
problematize "facts and logic" (other than with the quote key), but this
insurrectionist will match you on either!
