„ The human race i gradually learning the simple lesson,
that the people as a whole are wiser for the public goods and the public
prosperity, than any privileged class of men, hewver refined and cultivated,
have ever been, or, by any possibility,
can ever become. Governments over societies the most advanced are still in a
transitional stage; and they are necessarely and logicallly moving…. In the
direction of democracy; that form of self government which represents and expresses
the overage intelligence and virtue of a free and educate peolple.“
Luis Henry Morgan, „Ancien Society“

Many crimes are committed in the name of democracy. It is
essential tha the working class become familiar with its definitions, and with
the political and economic oppressions practiced in the name. More, it is essential that the working class understand the needs
for industrial democracy – the form of democracy that brings „the rule of the
people“ to its highest form of expression.
This panphlet trace the development of men's attempt to get
rid of „the man on horseback.“ It shows what democracy meant to the slave-owning
class of ancien Athens, what it means to the workers-exploting class of modern
America , what it mean to the emancipated workers of the Socialist Republic of Labor.
