If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists. --Joe Ettor (IWW labor organizer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IASdERt3-m0

effects). How I Lost the Russia That Never Was ~~ Anna Nemtsova
~~ recommended by emil karpo ~~
(NB note - I put this up as an example of the class struggle in Russia, although the article doesn't mention this but that is the underlying theme that percolates - ruling class propaganda, censorship, police state, strong man lawlessness. It is very dark - and insular - there is no mention of outside ruling class forces and their effects. Presumable the author has left Russia and wrote this from elsewhere)
