What does it mean with regard to tactics, this fact that the proletariat of Western Europe stands all alone: that it has no prospect of any help whatsoever from any other class?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Tactics mean doing what you can with what you have.
This is the absolute truth: and on this truth our tactics must be based. All tactics that are not based on this are false, and lead the proletariat to terrible defeat.
People talk about tactics, but when you look at it, tactics are just players. You change things so that the team can get the most out of the skills they have to offer, but you don't go any further than that.
Sometimes you have to subordinate strategic considerations to tactical needs.
When you're trying to accomplish lofty goals, and when you're attacking something of great magnitude, you have to have help.
The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation.
Everything is up to the players and not the tactics. They're just small details that can show you the way to play.
Of course you know this difference as well as I do, only you failed to draw from it the conclusions for the tactics in Western Europe, at least as far as I am able to judge from your works.
