Socialism implying the destruction of the State, those who support the State must renounce Socialism; must sacrifice the economic emancipation of the masses to the political power of some privileged party... * 2 No amount of talk will do away with the fact that Stalin has sabotaged the Spanish Revolution. * 3 Revolution is, as a matter of fact, the expression of the preceding accumulated evolutionary forces come to a breaking point. Revolution in society is exactly what a cloudburst, an earthquake or a tornado is in the atmospheric realm. Nature breaks loose a result of the elemental forces that have accumulated to the breaking point. * 4 ...as a government the Russian Communists have succeeded but as the pseudo-voice of the Revolution the Communist state is the most colossal failure the world has ever seen. * 5 Allow a workingman to give his side of this subject. We may be all wrong, but you will never set us right by ignoring us. The policy of suppression has signally failed in Russia. We are tired of articles from those who are vouched for as "more than ordinarily intelligent workingmen," and who write to please the enemies of labor. * 6 ..."administering of things," despite Engels' expectations, may turn into unlimited "administering of people," and thus not only lead to the emancipation of the state from the economy but even to the subjection of the economy to the state. * 7 Nowhere, neither West nor East, has the liberation of the working class yet occurred in the sense that Marxists envisaged. Perhaps what they envisaged must now be seen as a historical limit to be approached, rather than a fixed goal to be achieved. * 8 ... nobody can depict the "cowshed" prison as a paradise, nor depict inhuman massacre as a "Great Proletarian Revolution." * 9 If the workers are not far enough advanced yet to see the way of revolution, if they are satisfied with the leaders doing all the work of speechifying and mediating and bargaining for reforms within capitalism, then parliaments and party and union-congresses, – called workers parliaments because they work after the same principle – are all they need. If, however, they fight with all their energy for revolution, if with intense eagerness and passion they take part in every event, if they think over and decide for themselves all details of fighting because they have to do the fighting, then workers' councils are the organization they need. * 10 ­Manager: ...you know, authority is the way we're used to working. Q/A: The whole world's built on it. Manager: Exactly, but the world is changing. We've got an awful lot of dissatisfied young people in this world right now who refuse to join society, because they don't like the way it's structured. They don't like the way it's happening. They don't like authority. Q/A: Yes, but actually you can't jump in there and say this is the way we're going to do it, and do it this way, you... Manager: [Cutting in] That's the whole objective of this program. We don't know what's a better way, because we'd like those young kids out there to get in among us. And maybe there's a better way of doing work, and maybe it's without authority.
