WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE Uk uk United Kingdom - news journal UPDATE - (en) Uk, ACG, Jackdaw #23 - Direct Action (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 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
