"Now let us approach the editor of any newspaper. We’ll suggest that he reduce the formal, strictly political ‘questions of strategy and tactics’ to two pages of the newspaper and that he reserve the first and second pages of the newspaper for extensive articles on practical everyday questions of technology, medicine, education, mining, agriculture, factory work, etc. He will gaze at us devoid of all understanding and in complete perplexity, and he will have doubts about our state of mind."
