Topic on Talk:Wage slavery

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

I will try to improve it over time. I may have to sacrifice one image or another because there's too many images for few content. The article is also too quote-heavy, there are many passages saying "according to x, according to y", and too many quotes. These quotes can instead be used inside the references.

As to the United States section, there is a mention of Emma Goldman, an US anarchist, which I think is appropriate, considering she was a part of the working-class movement of her time, but a picture of her is not warranted, because it's not relevant to the article.

However, a mention of the anarchist Noam Chomsky is not necessary, since anarchism in Chomsky's time had been transformed into a petty-bourgeois ideology, and he was not a part of the working-class movement, his political presence tended to be restricted to academia. There surely is mentions of wage-slavery from organic intellectuals or even Marxist academics at the time of Chomsky.

While an article on Chomsky is welcome, I don't think his opinions are warranted for other ProleWiki articles, since he is from the anarchist petty-bourgeois camp and has been often against Leninism and communism in general. We shouldn't endorse his opinions in our articles for this reason.
