>From a Libertarian Communist perspective, the workers of the world have still a long, long way to travel, through repression, military coups, betrayal of their unions, military clampdown, corrupt politicians, agents provocateurs, social democracy, media control, state bureaucrats, religious divides, linguistic barriers, before the working class can at last be freed of bosses and render Capitalism superfluous.
