Excerpt from Programme of the World Revolution
The same thing holds good with regard to land. Take the freest and the most democratic country - the United States. Thousands of workers cultivate land that does not belong to them, land owned by landowning capitalists. Here everything is organised on the plan of a large factory: there are tens and hundreds of electric ploughs, reaping machines, reaping and sheaf-binding machines, at which hired slaves toil from dawn till night. And just as at the factory, they work not for them selves, but for a master. That is because land itself as well as the seeds and machines, in a word, everything, except the work ing hands, is the private property of the capitalist master. He is auto'crat here. He commands and conducts the business in such a way as to convert the very sweat and blood into shining ryellow metal. The workmen, grumbling sometimes, obey, and go on making money for the master because he possesses every thing, whilst the worker, the poor agricultural labourer, possesses nothing.

This book, written around the outset of the 20th century, examines the societal conditions of the time and proposes radical political solutions to issues such as poverty, war, and exploitation. The author posits that global conflicts have their roots in an economic struggle between nations, and argues for the working class to seize control of the means of production. The author believed that the key to a fairer society was for workers to organize themselves and use their collective power. At its core, the book argues that only through the revolutionary action of the working class, can a society be achieved that is free of exploitation and oppression.
