Socialist democracy is not, a luxury and its need is not limited to the most advanced industrial countries.

Socialist democracy is not a luxury but an absolute, essential necessity for overthrowing capitalism and building socialism.

And you cannot have a socialist revolution commandeered from the top, ordered around by some omniscient leader or group of leaders.

Otherwise we get off the track and we do not fulfil the historical role which we want to fulfil: to help the masses, the exploited and the oppressed of the world, build a classless society, a world socialist federation.

You need a vanguard organization in order to overcome the dangerous potential brought about by the uneven development of class militancy and class consciousness.

We need no elaborate statistical proof that trade depends on prosperity in the industrial countries.
