19. Note, however, the opposite view which describes the opposition as follows: … The virtual disregard for party dissident movements or internal liberalizers by those on “the outside” reflects the fact that the dissidents view their task as a direct appeal to society itself. They must talk with and guide society, from below — not to try to use the Party dissenters and tactics from within to manipulate or bring about a change in the character of the system.
