:22:02
Facts are things and phenomena
:22:05
as they exist objectively.
:22:08
Truth is the link between things
and phenomena.
:22:12
Which is to say the laws.
:22:15
To seek is to study.
:22:17
We must begin
:22:19
with the internal
and external situation
:22:22
going from country to country.
:22:26
Sort out the laws that apply
to serve as guides
:22:30
and not use our imaginations.
:22:35
Which is to say find
the internal ties in events
:22:39
occurring around us.
:22:41
What made me discover Marxism?
:22:43
At first Nanterre bored me,
:22:46
because it was surrounded by slums.
:22:48
Then little by little,
:22:50
I found philosophy suited
a worker's suburb.
:23:02
We and the workers lived
like penned rabbits.
:23:06
But rabbits multiply.
:23:10
And in the mornings
I met the Algerian children
:23:13
and the mechanics from Simca.
:23:19
Right, so...
:23:21
I thought I passed them by,
:23:24
but we stopped in the same cafes.
:23:27
We were at the station together,
:23:29
had the same rain
and nearly the same work.
:23:35
That's where I understood
:23:37
the three basic inequalities
of capitalism
:23:41
and especially
of the Gaullist regime in France.
:23:45
No difference in intellectual
and manual work
:23:49
between town and country.
:23:51
I see those here all the time.
:23:55
Third, between farming and industry.
:23:58
That also pushed me
to study Marxism-Leninism.
