But what should they be, what will they be, when they, once for all, come to know their real power, and cease competing with one another for livelihood? I will tell you: they will be society, they will be the community. BUT WHAT SHOULD THEY BE WHAT WILL THEY BE WHEN THEY ONCE FOR ALL COME TO KNOW THEIR REAL POWER AND CEASE COMPETING WITH ONE ANOTHER FOR LIVELIHOOD I WILL TELL YOU THEY WILL BE SOCIETY THEY WILL BE THE COMMUNITY
y do so. So, here, you see, is another form of war necessary to the way we live now, the war of class against class, which, when it rises to its height, and it seems to be rising at present, will destroy those other forms of war we have been speaking of; will make the position of the profit-makers, of perpetual commercial war, untenable; will destroy the present system of competitive privilege, or commercial war. Now observe, I said that to the existence of the workers it was combination, not competition, that was necessary, while to that of the profit-makers combination was impossible, and war necessary. The present position of the workers is that of the machinery of commerce, or in plainer words its slaves; when they change that position and become free, the class of profit-makers must cease to exist; and what will then be the position of the workers? Even as it is they are the one necessary part of society, the life-giving part; the other classes are but hangers-on who live on them.  LORD WHENEVER HE COULD SAFELY DO SO SO HERE YOU SEE IS ANOTHER FORM OF WAR NECESSARY TO THE WAY WE LIVE NOW THE WAR OF CLASS AGAINST CLASS WHICH WHEN IT RISES TO ITS HEIGHT AND IT SEEMS TO BE RISING AT PRESENT WILL DESTROY THOSE OTHER FORMS OF WAR WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING OF WILL MAKE THE POSITION OF THE PROFIT MAKERS OF PERPETUAL COMMERCIAL WAR UNTENABLE WILL DESTROY THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF COMPETITIVE PRIVILEGE OR COMMERCIAL WAR NOW OBSERVE I SAID THAT TO THE EXISTENCE OF THE WORKERS IT WAS COMBINATION NOT COMPETITION THAT WAS NECESSARY WHILE TO THAT OF THE PROFIT MAKERS COMBINATION WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND WAR NECESSARY THE PRESENT POSITION OF THE WORKERS IS THAT OF THE MACHINERY OF COMMERCE OR IN PLAINER WORDS ITS SLAVES WHEN THEY CHANGE THAT POSITION AND BECOME FREE THE CLASS OF PROFIT MAKERS MUST CEASE TO EXIST AND WHAT WILL THEN BE THE POSITION OF THE WORKERS EVEN AS IT IS THEY ARE THE ONE NECESSARY PART OF SOCIETY THE LIFE GIVING PART THE OTHER CLASSES ARE BUT HANGERS ON WHO LIVE ON THEM
