Partly quoted, partly paraphrased from memory: Writing recipes for the cook shops of the future is not our thing. Rather we must engage in an unyielding critique of all that is. [In so far as that critique *is* unyielding and threatens to be heard, it will lead to heavy and violent repression. And hence another famous observation from the same old man]: The arm of criticism must be completed by the criticism of arms.

Marxists have no crystal ball, Mao observed, and those who insist that the present must not be challenged except in the name of a "plan" that persuades, they are simply supporting the present and all its horrors.
