"We shall not say: Abandon your struggles, they are mere folly; let us
provide you with true campaign-slogans. Instead, we shall simply show
the world why it is struggling, and consciousness of this is a thing
it must acquire whether it wishes or not.

"The reform of consciousness consists entirely in making the world
aware of its own consciousness, in arousing it from its dream of
itself, in explaining its own actions to it."

Marx, letter to Ruge.
