“Without a revolutionary theory there cannot be a revolutionary movement”
— Vladimir Lenin
Simplified Meaning:
For big changes to happen in society, like revolutions, people need fresh ideas to guide them. It's like trying to build a new house; you first need a blueprint. For example, during the American Civil War, the idea that all people should be free was a powerful theory that pushed many to fight and bring about real change. Just wanting change isn’t enough; you need a clear plan and set of beliefs that show people a new way forward. In everyday life, if you want to start a new business, you first need a solid plan or theory about what will make it successful. To bring about big changes, you need a new way of thinking to inspire people and guide their actions.
