Schafik Jorge Handal: If in certain countries the ideas of Marxism-Leninism have lost ground in workers movements that have become reformist, this is above all the responsibility of the workers party, which at a certain point failed to comply with the day-to-day task of bringing scientific socialism to the labor movement and the entire working people, thus losing the ideological battle to the bourgeoisie, at least temporarily. The fact is that this elementary task of the party of socialism can only be carried out — under capitalist conditions — by promoting the revolutionary struggle of the workers, aimed at the fundamental and unrenounceable objective of the conquest of power. Without this, socialism is impossible. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3435
