We must construct a form of society that will “make it easier to do right and more difficult to do wrong.”[[315]]
Shall we be non-resistant?
No, emphatically, no.
Non-resistance is not natural (especially for the class conscious workers)—for workers who understand their interests as a class; and non-resistance is not reasonable, is not safe, and is not possible. Non-resistance would mean defeat and degradation for the working class—forever.[[316]]
Then is peace a childish dream and is war to be an endless wrangle and blood-spilling nightmare—for the working class?
No—not necessarily.
We must resist.
But we should not resist first and only by physical force.
The working class must THINK—or they will have to struggle and bleed and weep and wait forever,—wait and whimper like babies in the woods for “some one” or some “good people” to come and “save” them.
The workers must think till they find a form of social organization in which the fundamental cause of war, that is, class robbery, will have no opportunity, and will therefore cease to exist.
