The British Labour movement is today, and for many years has been, working in a narrow circle of strikes that are looked upon, not as an expedient, and not as a means of propaganda, but as an ultimate aim.

Friedrich Engels

Everything must justify its existence before the judgment seat of Reason, or give up existence.

Art Give Up Philosophy
The way in which the vast mass of the poor are treated by modern society is truly scandalous. They are herded into great cities where they breathe a fouler air than in the countryside which they have left.
FRIEDRICH ENGELS

Air Cities Poor True Way
Naturally, the workers are perfectly free; the manufacturer does not force them to take his materials and his cards, but he says to them..’If you don’t like to be frizzled in my frying- pan, you can take a walk into the fire.

By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.

How do you think the transition from the present situation to community of Property is to be effected? The first, fundamental condition for the introduction of community of property is the political liberation of the proletariat through a democratic constitution.
FRIEDRICH ENGELS

The proletariat uses the State not in the interests of freedom but in order to hold down its adversaries, and as soon as it becomes possible to speak of freedom the State as such ceases to exist.

In 10 years, this sleepy Canada will be ripe for annexation – the farmers in Manitoba, etc., will demand it themselves. Besides, the country is half annexed already socially – hotels, newspapers, advertising, etc., all on the American pattern.

Labour is the source of all wealth, the political economists assert. And it really is the source — next to nature, which supplies it with the material that it converts into wealth.

I have learned more [from Balzac] than from all the professional historians, economists, and statisticians put together.
FRIEDRICH ENGELS

Balzac History Learning Togetherness
We find two great gangs of political speculators, who alternately take possession of the state power and exploit it by the most corrupt ends — the nation is powerless against these two great cartels of politicians who are ostensibly its servants, but in reality dominate and plunder it.
FRIEDRICH ENGELS

Nation Poltics Power Reality
Ireland still remains the Holy Isle whose aspirations must on no account be mixed with the profane class-struggles of the rest of the sinful world. The Irish peasant must not on any account know that the Socialist workers are his sole allies in Europe.

In a political struggle of class against class, organization of trade unions is the most important weapon.

What each individual wills is obstructed by everyone else, and what emerges is something that no one willed.
