For our departed revolutionary idealists By Edwin Madunagu Let me begin by saying that the term "idealist" is not used in this article in the philosophical sense. Were this the case, departed comrades to whom the piece is dedicated would not www.chidoonumah.com

Revolutionary idealism, in the context of RD experience, is the heroic and selfless pursuit, by revolutionary Marxists, of "high or noble principles, purposes or goals" – but without giving sufficient consideration to "objective, historically-determined reality".
