دانشجویان مارکسیست انقلابی در لهستان صحبت می‌کنند، ۱۹۶۴–۱۹۶۸

Though barely half over, 1968 is destined to be recorded in history as the year of massive and militant student demonstrations. While the worldwide wave of protests, rallies, marches, sit-ins, and battles with the police have brought consternation to the capitalist establishment of the West and the bureaucratic es- tablishment of the deformed workers' states of the East, they have brought hope and inspiration to truly revolutionary socialist forces everywhere. A characteristic commonly remarked by observers regardless of the im- mediate occasions of the protests - which range from the Vietnam War, racism, censorship, and police brutality to educational procedures and university admin- istrations - is the students' expression of deep dissatisfaction with the quality of life, the established values, the system, i.e., with their societies as present- ly c"nstituted. The students, in brief, are possessed of a revolutionary or pre- revolutionary temper.
