Power to the Workers’ Councils. What can the revolutionary movement do now? Everything. What will it become in the hands of the parties and bureaucrats? Nothing. What does it want? The realisation of a classless society through the power of Workers’ Councils.
Conseil pour le maintien des occupations (CMDO)
With the power of the councils—a power that must internationally supplant all other forms of power—the proletarian movement becomes its own product. This product is nothing other than the producers themselves, whose goal has become nothing other than their own fulfillment. Only in this way can the spectacle’s negation of life be negated in its turn.
Guy Debord, La société du spectacle §117
