To the Left-of-thou cynics and liberal non-participatory nihilists: “Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element” (Rosa Luxemburg, ‘The Russian Revolution’ (1918))
