It is possible that the men and women who have a truly revolutionary attitude toward reality are not the majority of the population. The revolutionaries are the vanguard of the people, but the revolutionaries should strive to have all the people march alongside them. The revolution cannot renounce the goal of having all honest men and women, whether writers and artists or not, march alongside it. The revolution should strive to convert everyone who has doubts into revolutionaries. The revolution should try to win over the majority of the people to its ideas. The revolution should never give up relying on the majority of the people. It must rely not only on the revolutionaries, but on all honest citizens who, although they may not be revolutionaries -that is, they may not have a revolutionary attitude toward life - are with the revolution. The revolution should turn its back only on those who are incorrigible reactionaries, who are incorrigible counterrevolutionaries.
