I believe that the importance of dialectical materialism, its decisive (but still barely exploited) progress in the history of ideas, is above all the supremacy of practice, the notion of praxis that contains and supersedes theoretical reflection, and which itself is always inseparable from a praxis.
Guy Debord, Correspondance
The very style of dialectical theory is a scandal and abomination to the prevailing standards of language and to the sensibilities molded by those standards, because while it makes concrete use of existing concepts it simultaneously recognizes their rediscovered fluidity and their inevitable destruction.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §205
