p Marxism-Leninism combines high science with the revolutionary activity of the masses. And that is because it is, above all, the common world outlook of the most advanced and ascending class—the working class, which is called upon by history to eliminate the separation of theory from practice and practice from theory in the process of the revolutionary remodelling of the world. Expressing this striving, Marxism from the very start has come out not only as a scientific theory explaining the world, but as a life-evoking revolutionary practice by people aimed at its radical reform and reorganisation. "We see," wrote Marx, "that theoretical extremes can be resolved only in a practical way, only by man’s practical energy, and that therefore their solution is by no means a question only of cognition, but a really vital problem, which philosophy has been unable to solve precisely because it sees it merely as a theoretical problem.”  [260•* 

p Theory, to become a force, must win the masses, while the masses, to become a force capable of revolutionary action, must master scientific theory. "Marxism differs from all other socialist theories," wrote Lenin, "in the remarkable way it combines complete scientific sobriety in the analysis of the objective state of affairs and the objective course of evolution with the most emphatic recognition of the importance of the revolutionary energy, revolutionary creative genius, and revolutionary initiative of the masses—and also, of course, of individuals, groups, organisations, and parties that are able to discover and achieve contact with one or another class.”  [260•** 

Our Party’s ideological arsenal is its most precious spiritual asset. The selfless struggle of the working class against 261 the putrefactive forces and traditions of the old world and the unexplored paths of construction of a new, just society have been illumined by the unfading light of MarxistLeninist ideas. In the treasure-house of revolutionary theory the Party finds the answers to the intricate questions posed by history and life’s modern processes, and derives assurance that it has chosen the right path in its comprehensive reconstructive activities. The strength of revolutionary theory lies in the fact that it enables the Party not only to take its bearings in a given situation and grasp the inner connection of surrounding events, but to foresee the course of events and reveal the general trend of their development in the present and the pattern of their development in the future. All this is inherent in our Party, of which it can confidently be said that it is not only scientifically aware of what it is doing, but is doing what it is scientifically aware of. It is this unity between theory and practice, between word and deed, that forms the most remarkable feature of our Party’s life and struggle.
