Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one class for oppressing another.
Stranica 160 - The working men have no country. We cannot take from them what they have not got.

On Sundays and holidays, a white shirt took the place of the checked one ; the stiff, hard leather breeches were greased and blacked, and the heavy cow-hide shoes, home-made, were set off by huge brass buckles. The common laborer, even after independence was achieved, received only about
