" However within this line of thought " The tension between anti-vanguardism and vanguardism has frequently resolved itself in two diametrically opposed ways: the first involved a drift towards the party ; the second saw a move towards the idea of complete proletarian spontaneity ... The first course is exemplified most clearly in Gramsci and Lukacs ... The second course is illustrated in the tendency, developing from the Dutch and German far-lefts, which inclined towards the complete eradication of the party form.

** Reduction potential, a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons

In such instances, the second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the tendency that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential equilibrate in an isolated physical system so as to result in the natural entropic dissolution of the system itself.
