Abstract
'Let's be realistic' probably more often means 'let us accept the limits of this situation' (limits meaning hard facts, often of power or money in their existing and established forms) than 'let us look at the whole truth of this situation' (which can allow that an existing reality is changeable or is changing) – williams 1988: 259, emphasis in the original.
