The Permanent Gains
People who engage in struggle must have the long-term perspective and realize that they are making permanent gains. . . . The improvement in organization, the improvement of consciousness, the improvement of unity, the improvement in personal relationships are the permanent gains that we make from every struggle (up to the crucial change of economic power, at least). If we keep this clearly in view, then we will have armed our associates to understand the positive character of what they have achieved, even though the economic gains do not persist and the propaganda of the opposition will deride and ridicule our struggles on that basis.
