How could it be otherwise, since it is a system of war? I have mentioned incidentally that all the employers of labour are at war with each other, and you will probably see that, according to my account of the relations between the two great classes, they also are at war. HOW COULD IT BE OTHERWISE SINCE IT IS A SYSTEM OF WAR I HAVE MENTIONED INCIDENTALLY THAT ALL THE EMPLOYERS OF LABOR ARE AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER AND YOU WILL PROBABLY SEE THAT ACCORDING TO MY ACCOUNT OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO GREAT CLASSES THEY ALSO ARE AT WAR
eful work, and he need not do any semblance of it, since he may buy the brain-power of managers at a somewhat higher rate than he buys the hand-power of the ordinary workman. But even when he does seem to be doing something, and receives the pompous title of “organizer of labour,” he is not really organizing _labour_, but the battle with his immediate enemies, the other capitalists, who are in the same line of business with himself. Furthermore, though it is true, as I have said, that the working-class are the only producers, yet only a part of them are allowed to produce usefully; for the men of the non-producing classes having often much more wealth than they can _use_ are forced to _waste_ it in mere luxuries and follies, that on the one hand harm themselves, and on the other withdraw a very large part of the workers from useful work, thereby compelling those who do produce usefully to work the harder and more grievously: in short, the essential accompaniment of the system is waste. N THIS CASE DOES HE DO ANY USEFUL WORK AND HE NEED NOT DO ANY SEMBLANCE OF IT SINCE HE MAY BUY THE BRAIN POWER OF MANAGERS AT A SOMEWHAT HIGHER RATE THAN HE BUYS THE HAND POWER OF THE ORDINARY WORKMAN BUT EVEN WHEN HE DOES SEEM TO BE DOING SOMETHING AND RECEIVES THE POMPOUS TITLE OF ORGANIZER OF LABOUR HE IS NOT REALLY ORGANIZING LABOR BUT THE BATTLE WITH HIS IMMEDIATE ENEMIES THE OTHER CAPITALISTS WHO ARE IN THE SAME LINE OF BUSINESS WITH HIMSELF FURTHERMORE THOUGH IT IS TRUE AS I HAVE SAID THAT THE WORKING CLASS ARE THE ONLY PRODUCERS YET ONLY A PART OF THEM ARE ALLOWED TO PRODUCE USEFULLY FOR THE MEN OF THE NON PRODUCING CLASSES HAVING OFTEN MUCH MORE WEALTH THAN THEY CAN USE ARE FORCED TO WASTE IT IN MERE LUXURIES AND FOLLIES THAT ON THE ONE HAND HARM THEMSELVES AND ON THE OTHER WITHDRAW A VERY LARGE PART OF THE WORK AS FROM USEFUL WORK THEREBY COMPELLING THOSE WHO DO PRODUCE USEFULLY TO WORK THE HARDER AND MORE GRIEVOUSLY IN SHORT THE ESSENTIAL ACCOMPANIMENT OF THE SYSTEM IS WASTE
