Anton PannekoekFighting for freedom is not letting your leaders think for you and decide, and following obediently behind them, or from time to time scolding them. Fighting for freedom is partaking to the full of ones capacity, thinking and deciding for oneself, taking all the responsibilities as a self-relying individual amidst equal comrades... it is the only way to freedom. To be liberated by others, whose leadership is the essential part of the liberation, means the getting of new masters instead of the old ones. Freedom, the goal of the workers, means that they shall be able to manage the world, to use and deal with the treasures of the Earth, so as to make it a happy home for all. How can they ensure this if they are not able to conquer and defend this themselves?”

Workers' Councils, 1936

Dutch astronomer and marxist theorist (1873-1960)
