“What is a labour victory? I maintain that it is a twofold thing. Workers must gain economic advantage, but they must also gain revolutionary spirit, in order to achieve a complete victory. For workers to gain a few cents more a day, a few minutes less a day, and go back to work with the same psychology, the same attitude toward society is to achieve a temporary gain and not a lasting victory.” InspirationalSpiritOrderAttitudePsychologySocietyEconomicMinutesAchieveRevolutionVictoryGainsAdvantageLaborWorkersFeministRevolutionaryLabourLastingTemporaryCentsBack To WorkOrganized Labor Author:Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
“In the anarchist milieu, communism, individualism, collectivism, mutualism and all the intermediate and eclectic programmes are simply the ways considered best for achieving freedom and solidarity in economic life; the ways believed to correspond more closely with justice and freedom for the distribution of the means of production and the products of labour among men.
