Strikes! Keep them General and Wild.

Child, demanding better working conditions, meet the State.

This is the picture I see in my anarcho-head: The state is a thug (that’s you cops) which holds us down while the capitalist picks our pockets.  If we can get the thug off our back, we can, finally, get our hands around the capitalist’s throat.  This is why I hate the State first and most, because I am itching for a good ol’honest fight.  Bring back the strike, make it general and wild.  Fire us in droves; we will just out compete you.

“Laborers are free to compete among themselves, and so are capitalists to a certain extent.  But between laborers and capitalists there is no competition whatever, because through governmental privilege granted to capital, …, the owners of it are enabled to keep the laborers dependent on them for employment, so making the condition of wage-subjection perpetual.  So long as one man, or class of men, are able to prevent others from working for themselves because they cannot obtain the means of production or capitalize their own products, so long those others are not free to compete freely with those to whom privilege gives the means.” –Voltairine de Cleyre

“The State always represents the organized interests of a dominate class; therefore the subjection of other classes may be said to benefit the State and their emancipation may be opposed as a danger to the State.  It is evident from the very nature of the State that its interests are opposed to those of Society…” –Suzanne LaFollette
