- Synopsis
- The wave of labor struggles that ensued was (and still is) an unprecedented experiment in collective self-education. It may be worth noting that some of the leading theoreticians in this experiment drew some inspiration from the struggles waged by the American working class in the last thirty-five years. What is at work in experiments like these is more than just labor tactics or the instant improvement of the worker's lot. What is at work is the establishment of an industrial democracy adapted to conditions in which representative democracy reveals more clearly than ever its inherent limitations. Labor unions and labor action are seen as one of the main instruments (democratic political parties with an overall vision being another prerequisite) for the conquest of popular centers of power and the democratic self-rule from below, on which democracy will have to rest if it is to survive or to be reborn. It will be able to do neither if basic issues remain beyond the reach of those who are most directly concerned by them.
