SCIENCE AND REVOLUTION 



life leads only through the golden gate of adapta- 

 tion to the understood line of evolution. 



Only the universe is immortal, and it cannot 

 be destroyed. If the human mind wishes to 

 share in this immortality, and avoid being hurled 

 into the abyss of oblivion, it has only one course 

 open before it: The conscious promotion of an 

 environment in which an organ of understanding 

 can develop which will succeed in controlling 

 the universal process. 



It is only the philosophy of the proletariat 

 which furnishes a scientific basis for the realiza- 

 tion of the most daring dreams of the thinkers 

 of all ages. The proletarian mind, conscious of 

 its origin, its present and future place in society 

 and universe, its social, terrestrial, and cosmic 

 mission, can exclaim triumphantly : " I was, I 

 am, and I shall be ! "
