ABSTRACT INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT

ABSTRACT INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT

Now Marx and Engels always taught
That undue concentration
On abstract intellectual thought
Without its application
Is very bad, and always is
A source of great confusion,
And only helps the bourgeoisie,
And not the Revolution.

So that is why we always try
To keep a close relation
Between the statement of the line
And its practical application.
