“Anarchists generally make use if the word "State" to mean all the collection of institutions, political, legislative, judicial, military, financial, etc., by means of which management of their own affairs, the guidance of their personal conduct, and the care of ensuring their own safety are taken from the people and confided to certain individuals, and these, whether by usurpation or delegation, are invested with the right to make laws over and for all, and to constrain the public to respect them, making use of the collective force of the community to this end.” PeopleIfsMeanEndsStatesUseCareLawPoliticalCertainIndividualForceCommunityTakenMilitaryManagementSafetyInstitutionsAffairFinancialGuidanceCollectionsEtcCollectivesAnarchismAnarchistJudicialConstrainDelegationUsurpation Author:Errico Malatesta
“Technical progress and more comfortable living permit the systematic inclusion of libidinal components into the realm of commodity production and exchange. But no matter how controlled the mobilization of instinctual energy may be (it sometimes amounts to a scientific management of libido), no matter how much it may serve as a prop for the status quo - it is also gratifying to the managed individuals, just as racing the outboard motor, pushing the power lawn mower, and speeding the automobile are fun.” MaySometimesMatterIndividualEnergyFunProgressAmountComfortableManagementProductionsRealmsPushingControlledPermitRacingInclusionCommodityStatus QuoComponentsMotorAutomobileSystematicLawnsPropsSpeedingLibidoMobilizationMowers Author:Herbert Marcuse
“[Corporate programming] is often done to the point where the individual is completely submerged in corporate "culture" with no outlet for unique talents and skills.

“Socialism, whether it's the 'soft tyranny' of the EuroAmerican management state or the murderously repressive forms taken by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot, is all about disindividuation, a steady, relentless erasure of the individual differences among us, everything that makes us who we are. 'Everybody in, nobody out!' is the marching mantra of militant collectivized medicine, but it accurately describes all other aspects of collectivism as well. No alternatives allowed, no choices, no individualism, no individuality, and ultimately, no individuation.” WellsStatesFormChoicesIndividualDifferencesTakenAspectManagementMedicineIndividualityTyrannySocialismAlternativesWho We ArePotSteadyIndividualismRelentlessMantrasCollectivismMilitantMaoIndividuationIndividual Differences Author:L.

“The workmen in a factory may have a shadowy, unknown absentee "employer" - the thousands of individual owners of stock - whom "management" represents and tries to please by extra dividends.

“There's increasing consciousness that a "command and control" style of management which one associates with a male model isn't necessarily what works anymore, especially with small to medium sized companies. There's increasing evidence that a more flexible management style, where responsibility is distributed up and down the line, is what works best. And that kind of management style is one that will allow individual workers more flexibility - men and women.” MenKindIndividualLinesConsciousnessResponsibilityCompanyStyleModelsEvidenceMen And WomenManagementWorkersMalesCommandMediumsAssociatesFlexibilityFlexibleUp And DownCommand And Control Author:Betty Friedan
