I like Lenin's remark on effacing "all distinctions as between
workers and intellectuals, not to speak of distinctions of trade and
profession" in "the organization of revolutionaries" as well.<<
Effacing distinctions in a manner which preserves the *revolutionary* nature of the
organisation entails submerging pre-existing differences of outlook, social origin,
location within the division of labour etc, within an *agreed programme* under the
sign of an *agreed theorisation of the conjuncture*. I see no reason to suppose, to
judge from her other writings, that such a process of assimilation into a
revolutionary organisation/process, forms any part of Yoshie's agenda, private or
public.
