‘Quite a number of people with very little, and even a total lack of knowledge or theoretical training joined the movement because of its practical significance and its practical successes. ‘If you must unite, Marx wrote to the party leaders, then enter into agreements to satisfy the practical aims of the movement, but do not allow any bargaining over principle, do not make “concessions” in questions of theory. This was Marx’s idea, and yet there are people among us who strive — in his name — to belittle the significance of theory! Without a revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.’

Lenin, What is to be Done?
