slave They, the workers are next to this relation
= and they are organizing to destroy it by elimin-
ating the parasite profit taker. They have ac-
complshed this task in Russia and all Europe is on
the brink of following the example.
But instead of offering 'new relation, the
author only attempts to camouflage the old one
to cover it up with some more or less new tangled
system of co-operation-in order to increase pro-
duction and guarantee profits.
There is only one relation possible between
wageearner and employer. That is the relation of
antagonism. All the camouflages which semi
economists may concoct will not change that re-
lation nor lessen it's irreconcable character. The
wages system must in the very nature of social
evolution pass away to give place to one of CO.
operation between workers only.
