2026-02-01_G Roggero on worker autonomy

“The Left’s interest in victimhood was not only destroyed but also forcefully turned on its head: capital was the servant; the working class was the master. Only the workers could be autonomous: capital would always be subordinate to struggles. Only by responding to them could it find the form for its own development. But the servant dominates and forces the master to work for them, to think like them, to behave like them: capital imposes its slave morality on the workers.”
