are organised in unions, and these unions control production; every day the workers have before their eyes the factory and workshop committees and the workers’ factory administrations. Everything that is needed can be effected from below upwards through the instrumentality of the labour organisations, provided only that a little more zeal is displayed, less timidity, a fuller realisation that the working class has now become the master of life.
Labour discipline must be based upon the feeling and the consciousness that every worker is responsible to his class, upon the consciousness that slackness and carelessness are treason to the common cause of the workers. The capitalists no longer exist as a dominant caste. The workers no longer work for capitalists, usurers, and bankers; they work for themselves. They are engaged upon their own affairs; the edifice they are constructing belongs to the workers. Formerly, under the capitalist regime, it was not our business to trouble ourselves how their purses might best be filled. Now, another day has dawned. This sense of responsibility towards the whole working class must animate the mind of every worker.
