Every comrade should help the masses to organize themselves
step by step and on a voluntary basis to unfold gradually struggles
that are necessary and permissible under the external and internal
conditions obtaining at a particular time and place. Whatever we do,
authoritarianism is always erroneous because, as a result of our
impetuosity, it goes beyond the degree of the masses awakening
and violates the principle of voluntary action on the part of the masses.”
