\begin{enumerate}[1.]
\item\relax 
A violent revolution can overthrow an authoritarian system of rule and pave the way for freer forms of society, but it can also usher in an even harsher dictatorship.



\item\relax 
Beware of victorious revolutionary leaders. They usually become autocratic dictators!



\item\relax 
A free society cannot be established by force. Violence is coercion and coercion is the antipode of freedom.



\item\relax 
Proletarian class consciousness coupled with elite thinking ends in Lenin’s democratic centralism, a sociocratic Trojan horse for the working class.



\item\relax 
The surest guarantee of everyone’s freedom is the self-confidence of each
 individual.



\item\relax 
Freedom without socialism leads to exploitation, socialism without freedom to oppression.



\item\relax 
Peoples with Marxist dictatorships that have emerged from wars or revolutions and are dependent on the protectorate of the Soviet Union have fewer freedoms and a lower standard of living than the population of capitalist countries at the same level of development. Comparison example: GDR and FRG.



\item\relax 
The pendulum of historical development moves between the opposing poles of freedom and authority. The task of young people in particular is to fight for as many partial freedoms as possible on the long road to the pole of freedom.



\item\relax 
After a successful revolution, the revolutionary leaders should step down and acts of violence should stop.



\item\relax 
Anarchy is a non-violent order instead of organized violence.
