(en) Uk, ACG, Jackdaw #23 - Direct Action (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Sat, 30 Aug 2025 08:35:46 +0300


Direct action is such a plain-spoken notion of such self-evident transparency that merely to speak the words defines and explains them. It means that the working class, forever bridling at the existing state of affairs, expects nothing from outside people, powers or forces, but rather creates its own conditions of struggle and looks to itself for its methodology. It means that from now on the producer looms before the existing society which recognises only the citizen. And that producer, having grasped that any social grouping models itself upon its production system, means to mount a direct attack upon the capitalist mode of production in order to transform it by eliminating the employer and thereby achieving sovereignty in the workshop - the essential precondition for the enjoyment of real freedom....
...it is plain that direct action is the plain and simple fleshing-out of the spirit of revolt: it fleshes out the class struggle, shifting it from the realm of theory and abstraction into the realm of practice and accomplishment. As a result, direct action is the class struggle lived on a daily basis, an ongoing attack upon capitalism.
Emile Pouget, Direct Action 1904
