“Radicals, on the other hand, want to advance from the jungle of laissez-faire capitalism to a world worthy of the name of human civilization. They hope for a future where the means of economic production will be owned by all of the people instead of just a comparative handful. They feel that this minority control of production facilities is injurious to the large masses of people not only because of economic monopolies but because the political power inherent in this form of centralized economy does not augur for an ever expanding democratic way of life.” PeopleWorldWayWantFeelsHumansMeanDoeHandsFormPoliticalPoliticsNamesEconomyEconomicCivilizationMassCapitalismDemocraticProductionsWorthyRadicalLiberalismMinoritiesInherentExpandingJungleMonopolyHandfulFacilityPolitical PowerLaissez FaireHuman CivilizationLaissez Faire Capitalism Author:Saul Alinsky

“Anarchism is a definite intellectual current in the life of our times, whose adherents advocate the abolition of economic monopolies and of all political and social coercive institutions within society. In place of the present capitalistic economic order Anarchists would have a free association of all productive forces based upon co-operative labour, which would have as its sole purpose the satisfying of the necessary requirements of every member of society, and would no longer have in view the special interest of privileged minorities within the social union.” PoliticalPurposeOrderForceSocialInterestViewsEconomicSpecialMembersIntellectualInstitutionsUnionsCurrentsOur TimeProductiveMinoritiesLabourSatisfyingAssociationSoleDefiniteRequirementsPrivilegedMonopolyAnarchismAnarchistSpecial InterestsAbolitionEconomic Order Book:Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice Source: Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice
