The power of these giants of main drift is both economically and politically anchored; both unions and an independent labor party are needed to struggle effective.” WarMovingPoliticalPartyStruggleEconomyEconomicPolicyBrokenNeededDemandLaborOvercomingIndependentUnionsPracticalsGiantsSophisticatedTacticsEconomic PowerSlumps Author:C.

“There could be an independent labor-based party, which might over time become an important force the way the Labor Party did in England. To all of these things there are plenty of barriers, in the culture and in the social and political institutions, the concentration of economic power. But these are not insuperable barriers, I think.
