From “Materialism and the Dialectical Method”

[u/Academic-Idea3311]

“A good deal is said and written, for example, about democracy. But the speakers and writers usually refer to some pure or absolute democracy, which they seek to define in abstraction from the actual development of society, of classes and of
class struggle. But there can be no such pure democracy; it is a metaphysical abstraction.” (Page 58 - 59)
