ABSTRACT
The foundations of Marxist politics are to be found simultaneously in the inductive analysis of the economic process and in a certain intuition of man and the relations between men. Revolutionary action can acquire a perspective by drawing out the lines of proletarian development into the future. Proletarian action involves as much humanity as is possible in a decaying society and it is the least driven to deceit because it has the most ties in contemporary society and from all sides unites the forces working for the overthrow of the bourgeois machine. The proletarian Revolution was made in a country where the proletariat did not have access to a modern industrial economy. It therefore becomes possible, on the basis of facts that as far as we can establish are correct, to construct a picture of Soviet life which is the opposite of proletarian humanism.
