Was it meeting other comrades, or going to a big demo? Or somehow feeling like you were being useful to the movement itself?

I was laying in a field under some trees in a very beautiful part of the world after a very long hike. Just laying there and thinking (about communism obviously). At one point something in my mind just clicked, and I realized how inevitable it truly is. I already had read the idea in theory and knew it to be true, but my mind just started to believe it 120%. It felt like how I imagine enlightenment to be. Anytime I feel some doomer now, I remember that feeling of knowing with every bone in my body that we will win and we will win soon.

But premature or overdue, the revolution – the locomotive of history – and with it the communist society, of necessity asserts itself, and is carried through by the workers themselves, for the previous course of history has created a condition which permits of no other solution, because that solution is identical with the present life necessities of the majority of mankind.

And the proletarian revolution, while it changes the world, will not neglect to educate the astonished “educators.”
