Chapter 13. The Anarchist Tradition

From the Revolutionary Catechism: ‘The revolutionist is a man under a vow. He ought to have no personal interests, no business, no sentiments, no property. He ought to occupy himself entirely with one exclusive interest, with one thought and one passion: the Revolution.... He has only one aim, one science: destruction. For that and nothing but that he studies mechanics, physics, chemistry and medicine.

Chapter 17. Lenin

‘ 1.  The concentration of production and capital, developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive rôle in economic life.

2.  The merging of bank capital with industrial capital and the creation, on the basis of this ‘finance capital,’ of a financial oligarchy.

3.  The export of capital, as distinguished from the export of commodities, becomes of particularly great importance.

Chapter 18. Postface

‘I should be inclined to say that history is a class war (1) when there are classes; (2) when they have antagonistic interests; (3) when they are aware of this antagonism, which would give us, in the main, the humorous equivalence that history is a class war only when it is a class war.’
