A Movement Without Demands? Resource Type: Article Published: 2012 We claim that far from being a strength, the lack of demands reflects the weak ideological core of the movement.

While the Italian bourgeoisie was ready to carry out a repression even if the left had been far more intelligently organized, this was no excuse for carrying out tactics calculated to drive the average working class person into the arms of the government in the name of “security”. Revolutionary politics is really a project that is designed to win people to a cause. This involves patient explanation. Once someone develops a revolutionary consciousness, there is little that the state can do to vanquish it. A broken window can easily be replaced, but a revolutionary mind is permanent. Texas Archives of Autonomist Marxism Resource Type: Database These archives contain a wide variety of material related to those threads of the Marxist tradition which have emphasized the self-activity of the working class.
