What has the Industrial Revolution Done For You?
"Truly, we are rich, far richer than we think; rich in what we already possess, richer still in the possibilities of production of our actual mechanical outfit; richest of all in what we might win from our soil, from our manufactures, from our science, from our technical knowledge, were they but applied to bringing about the well-being of all." --Peter Kropotkin, 1892 "The Conquest of Bread," Chapter 1...

You're Working Too Fast!
"Very often the idler is but a man to whom it is repugnant to make all his life the eighteenth part of a pin, or the hundredth part of a watch, while he feels he has exuberant energy which he would like to expend elsewhere. Often, too, he is a rebel who cannot submit to being fixed all his life to a work-bench in order to procure a thousand pleasures for his employer, while knowing himself to be far the less stupid of the two...

Can the Worker's Party Help You?
"Nothing can present to our judgment, or to our imagination, a figure of greater absurdity, than that of seeing the government of a nation fall, as it frequently does, into the hands of a lad necessarily destitute of experience, and often little better than a fool. It is an insult to every man of years, of character, and of talents, in a country." --Thomas Paine, 1795 "Dissertations on First Principles of Government"... (posted by Andy 2 years 165 days ago.)

Where Do Their Guns Come From?
"The men are all converted into warslaves, and have from day to day to expect orders to go to kill and to be killed." --Leo Tolstoy, 1900 "Patriotism and Government," Part 8 Where do soldiers get their guns? Where do armies get their tanks? Where do navies get their battleships? All of it come from workers laboring upon machines and the land. If you want to stop a war, stop supplying the war! A war itself means maintaining... (posted by Andy 2 years 165 days ago.)

Ending Oppression and Exploitation: The Two Routes
"...in the light of reason, it is a great misfortune to be at the beck and call of one master, for it is impossible to be sure that he is going to be kind, since it is always in his power to be cruel whenever he pleases." --Etienne de La Boetie, 1548 "Discourse on Voluntary Servitude" We, as lovers of liberty, must be opposed to both the Capitalist system as well as the state.

What is the Relationship Between Capitalism and the State?
"A numerous nobility causeth poverty, and inconvenience in a state; for it is a surcharge of expense; and besides, it being of necessity, that many of the nobility fall, in time, to be weak in fortune, it maketh a kind of disproportion, between honor and means." --Francis Bacon, 1601 "The Essays," Of Nobility The government is just a church for the capitalist class -- it's a moral front for the...
