Knabb lectures us on what is to be done (and not to be done) to successfully bridge the gap between theory and practice of revolution. All over the place, at times pompous, but filled with razor-sharp thinking - e.g., "Commodity society contains this contradiction: it must arouse eagerly entertained enthusiasms, both to keep the ideological market going and to maintain the psychological survival of its consumers."
