CHAPTER IX: The "Semi-counterrevolutionary" Is Also a Son of the Revolution

            Everything that has been said herein provides grounds for a practical observation.

            Spirits marked by this interior Revolution might conserve a counter-revolutionary attitude in respect to one or many points due to an interplay of circumstances and coincidences, such as being reared in a strongly traditional and moral milieu. ³⁸

            Nevertheless, the spirit of the Revolution will still be enthroned in the mentality of these "semi-counterrevolutionaries."

            In a people where the majority are in such a state of soul, the Revolution will be irrepressible until they change.

            Thus, as a consequence of the Revolution's unity, only the total counter-revolutionary is an authentic counter-revolutionary.

            As for the "semi-counterrevolutionaries" in whose souls the idol of Revolution begins to totter, their situation is somewhat different. We shall discuss it later. ³⁹
