Document Summary
The struggle against wage labor [is] the only possible means of striking real blows against capital. The party must be the organization of what already exists within the class. Workers nowadays are so disillusioned with labour that they have no time for the dignity of labor , no pride. The working class must recognize itself as political power, deny itself as a productive force confront its own labor as capital, as a hostile force, as an enemy. Alienation is too deeply embedded within the working class; instead of combating it as traditional marxists advocate, the party must organize around alienation and use it to attack capital in the form of active and collective refusal. Mass passivity follows the political defeat of the proletariat and the expansion of capitalism. It is the most potent barrier the controlling factor governing any future revolutionary possibilities.
