Quote #4 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Socialism and Revolution
“The brilliant basic idea of May Day is the autonomous, immediate stepping forward of the proletarian masses, the political mass action of the millions of workers who otherwise are atomized by the barriers of the state in the day-to-day parliamentary affairs, who mostly can give expression to their own will only through the ballot, through the election of their representatives... the strike as a demonstration and means of struggle for the eight-hour day, world peace, and socialism.”
