Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rise of the American Proletarian While the proletarian suffers the anguish of the conditions with which he is oppressed it would be very remarkable if he could view his antagonists with philosophic calm and front the battle with a mind clear of animosity. Desirable as such an attitude might be, it is, in the very nature of things, impossible. Therefore, in any discussion of the proletarian position, the proletarian psychology must also be taken into account. The introductory chapters are intended as a brief resume of industrial history. Their purpose is to point out to what extent the American industrialist, proletarian as well as captain of industry, has been indebted to preceding epochs of human history. Given the machine development of the eighteenth century and the factory system, the results have been unavoidable. The course of development in this country has presented no new aspects. It has been more rapid and more intense than in any other, except perhaps Japan, but the broad features of resemblance to that of other countries have been preserved. No form of government has presented any effective barrier to the advances of modern capitalism. Wherever the essential prerequisites of capitalistic growth have been found, the plant has flourished. The economic forces which have produced an ambitious and energetic proletariat in Russia, as far as the modern system has penetrated that country, have also produced a class conscious and ambitious proletariat in the United States. Political forms prove to be merely forms in face of the economic fact. The capitalist becomes master under any political system and President and King are equally his servants.
