Page "Georgi Plekhanov" Paragraph 23

" The success of the revolution is the highest law.

And if the success of the revolution demands a temporary limitation on the working of this or that democratic principle, then it would be criminal to refrain from such a limitation ... The revolutionary proletariat might limit the political rights of the higher classes ... If in a burst of revolutionary enthusiasm the people chose a very fine parliament ... then we would make of it a long parliament ; and if the elections turned out unsuccessfully then we would have to try to disperse it.
