Quote #13 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and Social Organization
“The oppression which today impinges most directly on the workers and which is the main cause of the moral and material frustrations under which they labor, is economic oppression, that is the exploitation to which bosses and business men subject them, thanks to their monopoly of all the most important means of production and distribution.
To destroy radically this oppression without any danger of it reemerging, all people must be convinced of their right to the means of production, and be prepared to exercise this basic right by expropriating the land owners, the industrialists and financiers, and putting all social wealth at the disposal of the people.
["Anarchist Propaganda," by Errico Malatesta, from "Malatesta: Life and Ideas."]”
