Eternally relevant Lucy Parsons

"Concentrated power can be always wielded in the interest of the few and at the expense of the many. Government in its last analysis is this power reduced to a science. Governments never lead; they follow progress. When the prison, stake or scaffold can no longer silence the voice of the protesting minority, progress moves on a step, but not
until then."-LUCY PARSONS

"My conception of the strike of the future is not to strike and go out and starve, but to strike and remain in and take possession of the necessary property of production..."

If only this were true. If it was maybe over half the members of the international wouldn't have left with Bakunin.

From the Preamble to the IWW
Constitution:

THE WORKING CLASS AND THE EMPLOVING CLASS HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON. THERE CAN BE NO PEACE SO LONG AS HUNGER AND WANT ARE FOUND AMONG THE MILLIONS OF WORKING PEOPLE AND THE FEW. WHO MAKE UP THE EMPLOYING CLASS. HAVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE.
BETWEEN THESE TWO CLASSES A STRUGGLE MUST GO ON UNTIL THE WORKERS OF THE WORLD ORGANIZE AS A CLASS, TAKE POSSESSION OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, ABOLISH THE WAGE SYSTEM, AND LIVE IN HARMONY WITH THE EARTH.

General Section
1.Class struggle, its role and meaning
There is no one single humanity There is a humanity of classes Slaves and Masters
Like all those which have preceded it, the bourgeois capitalist society of our times is not 'one humanity.' It is divided into two very distinct camps, differentiated socially by their situations and their functions, the proletariat (in the wider sense of the word), and the bourgeoisie.
The lot of the proletariat is, and has been for centuries, to carry the burden of physical, painful work from which the fruits come, not to them, however, but to another, privileged class which owns property, authority, and the products of culture (science, education, art): the bourgeoisie The social enslavement and exploitation of the working masses form the base on which modern society stands, without which this society could not exist.
This generated a class struggle, at one point taking on an open, violent character, at others a semblance of slow and intangible progress, which reflects needs, necessities, and the concept of the justice of workers.
In the social domain all human history represents an uninterrupted chain of struggles waged by the working masses for their rights, liberty, and a better life - In the history of human society this class struggle has always been the primary factor which determined the form and structure of these societies.
The social and political regime of all states is above all the product of class struggle. The fundamental structure of any society shows us the stage at which the class struggle has gravitated and is to be found. The slightest change in the course of the battle of classes, in the relative locations of the forces of the class struggle, produces continuous modifications in the fabric and structure of society.
Such is the general, universal scope and meaning of class struggle in the life of class societies

The fact that so many self described anarchists in the 21st century disagree with this take is very disappointing.

This is a very good summary of James C Scott's book 'Seeing Like a State' (I'd recommend reading the whole book as well)

Anemoia.

Btw if anyone thinks this is due to 'natural human greed' it's not. The problem is that the system of capitalism not only rewards greed, it requires it.

Tommy Sanders@tommysanders· Jun 10

I'm not sure if all these are platformist or especifist but they're all at least social anarchist organizations

Tommy Sanders@tommysanders· Jun 10

It's also very fun that Marxist-leninists mention projects that basically just vindicated predictions made by anarchists 50 years prior to their existence.
