The worker who knows the cause of his misery, who understands the make-up of our iniquitous social and industrial system can do more for himself and his kind than Christ and the followers of Christ have ever done for humanity; certainly more than meek patience, ignorance, and submission have done.
Emma Goldman (1913). “Mother Earth, a Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Social Science and Literature”
