This is the quote I was thinking of, which does not exactly say the same thing, but is I believe close enough. It's from the preface to the Class Struggles in France: http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1850/class-struggles-france/index.htm
"In a word: The revolution made progress, forged ahead, not by its immediate tragicomic achievements but, on the contrary, by the creation of a powerful, united counterrevolution, by the creation of an opponent in combat with whom the party of overthrow ripened into a really revolutionary party." --David. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
