Sabotage
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
Leído por Enko
Sabotage by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn explores the concept of sabotage as a strategic tool for workers seeking to assert their rights and challenge oppressive systems. Written in 1916, this thought-provoking work delves into the rationale behind the conscious withdrawal of industrial efficiency as a form of protest against exploitation.
Flynn, a prominent figure in the American socialist and feminist movements, articulates the legal and ethical dimensions of sabotage, arguing that it can serve as a legitimate response to the injustices faced by laborers. Through her insights, she invites readers to reconsider the power dynamics within the workplace and the role of collective action.
With a focus on the intersection of politics and labor rights, Flynn's work remains relevant in discussions about workers' agency and resistance. This audiobook offers a historical perspective on the tactics employed by those fighting for social change, making it a significant contribution to political discourse.

Most interesting period piece

Of great interest to researchers, historians, plain old autodidacts and curiosity seekers. and I daresay still to workers. Thank you enko, you have a fine voice which I found easy on the ears. Chapters on sabotage for silk workers will bring to mind the poor dead of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, locked in their deathtrap in the fire that heartlessly started at quitting time but before the workers were let outside. I read the librivox eponymously titled book about it recently and remember sabotage had been an issue in the labor dispute that preceded the fire. Also can recommend more info on adulteration of food and liquor in chs. 18 and 19 of p.t.barnum's immensely entertaining HUMBUGS OF THE WORLD.
