“Indeed, some revolutionaries brand as innocents, dreamers, or even reactionaries; those who would challenge this educational practice. But one does not liberate people by alienating them. Authentic liberation - the process of humanization - is not another deposit to be made in men.”

Combat Liberalism (1937)
Original: (zh-CN) 自由主义者以抽象的教条看待马克思主义的原则。他们赞成马克思主义,但是不准备实行之,或不准备完全实行之,不准备拿马克思主义代替自己的自由主义。这些人,马克思主义是有的,自由主义也是有的:说的是马克思主义,行的是自由主义;对人是马克思主义,对己是自由主义。两样货色齐备,各有各的用处。这是一部分人的思想方法。
