science. The craftsman of the Middle
Ages found in his trade something to
satisfy his sense of the dignity Of
human life. In the connection that he
felt to exist between his trade and
bImself as human being there was
something that enabled him to see his
own life in light that made it worth
living.
Modern economic life, the workers
say. has out of its older forms evolved
modern capitalism. The evolutionary
process will go further. 1t will de-
stroy capitalism through the forces
that reside in capitalism itself, and
from the death of capitalism will be
born the emancipation of the workers
AT present the worker imagines that
he has hit upon fundamental force
within his soul when he talks of his
class consciousness. But the truth
is that ever since he has been yoked
to the capitalist industrial system he
has been seeking for spiritual life
that should bear up his soul and give
him a human consciousness-a con-
seriousness of his dignity as man
and this he cannot evolve out of a
spiritual life that is felt as ideology.
This is the consciousness he is looking
for, and when he could not find it he
replaced it by a class consciousness
born of the economic life.
Right inside our modern life some
thing has evolved itself which is not
clearly formulated nor consciously felt
by the worker, which yet is the Pc
culiar fundamental impulse behind
mis- social strivings. 1t is this:
AT bottom the modern capitalist
system, within its own sphere,
only recognizes commodities. 1t
recognizes the rise and fall in the
value of commodities within the eco
nomc system. Now, within the capi-
talist system Of modern times some
thing has become a commodity about
which the worker to-day feels: This
must not be commodity. In the in
stincts, in the sub-conscious feeling
of the modern worker, there is a re-
pugnance at having to sell his labor
power to an employer as one sells
goods in the market. 1t is repugnant
to him that, just as goods in the mar
ket are subject to the law of supply
and demaud sn his labor nOyyar r,1ors
a part in the labor market and is
valued by supply and demand. Let it
be understood what a powerful effect
this has as one of the fundamental
driving impulses of the whole social
movement in the modern labor world.
Formerly there were slaves. The
whole man was gold as a comm odity
Serfdom incorporated in the economic
system smaller portion of him. but
still part of the human being. Capt.
talism has now come into power. and
under its sway remnant of mans be-
ing still bears thescharactcr of CONF
modity--his labor power.
People think that from the economic
world itself must come the forces
which shall create conditions where
the worker shall no longer feel the
part played by his labor power in the
social organism to be derogatory. They

The Workers. Thoughts
Dr.. Rudolph Stcners analysts Of Class Consciousness
CAo~rieht, 1921. New York Tribune In,


Ralph Courtney on the system of state or
ganization invented by the Hungarian re-
former. DR.. Rudolph Steiner called ''The
ihreetold State has evoked a number of
letters from readers expressing interest in
Dr. Steiners industrial theories A few OF
mis- thoughts on social problems are printed
below. They are taken from the first chan
Ter OF the British edition of The Threefold
State.l
We are faced with demands for new
forms of social structure and con
fronted by them we become aware that
the solution of these problems must
be sought along paths that have not
hitherto been thought of.
Old blunders will only be succeeded
by endless new ones unless people
make up their minds to pay proper
attention to what is going on in the
minds and spirits of the men Of to-
day.
In the earlier days of humanitv,s
evolution the social instincts of them
selves found the proper function with
IN the community for each of the three
branches of life in way that corre.
spends to human nature as human
nature was at that period. In the pres
ent stage of human development we
are faced with the necessity of work
ing out this differentiation by deliber-
ate and conscious social effort.
Some people persist even now in
imagining that the old state of things
can be maintained against the existing
demands of a large section of man
kind. Such an opinion may be disre-
garded..
There is phrase current among the
workers that may we'll make a remark
able impression upon any one who can
read the more deeply seated motives of
human endeavor, and that is: The mod
ern worker has become "class con-
scious." He no longer obeys, to some
extent instinctively and unconsciously,
than his own. He recognizes himself
as belonging to a class apart and~is
determined that the connection which
practical life establishes between his
own and the other classes shall be
turned to account in such a way as to
further his interests.
The class consciousness of the
worker is stocked with ideas which
owe their character to the scientific
trend of modern times.
The fact that directly and clearly
illumines the actual social situation is
not that the worker is tied to the
machine, that he is harnessed to the
capitalist order of society, but that
quite definite thoughts within his class
consciousness have been shaped at the
machine and subject to the capitalist
economic system:
Whoever wants to understand the
" orking class movement must first and
foremost know how the workingman
thinks.
1t is because machinery and capital
ism could give the workingman nothing
to fill and satisfy his soul as human
being that the working class movement

friends in the orchestra circle and
