The Friends of 4 Million Young Workers
$14.95

“Our strategy can be expressed as such: Less hot air, less spectacle, but let the working class use the numerous means that it has at its disposal so as to command respect and set the future in motion. A little less solemn dissent and a few more smug and sneering smiles.”

Un monde sans argent: Le communisme is a series of tracts by Les amis de 4 millions jeunes travailleurs, a Parisian collective vaguely tied to the youth wing of the Unified Socialist Party. Originally published between 1975 and 1976, it met a readership deep in the anti-capitalist “crisis of work” which would come to mark the decade succeeding France’s uprisings of May 1968: wildcat strikes, worker self-management, and a generalized distaste for labor, as such, among young people. Reflecting the optimistic context from which it arose, this polemic—imaginative, funny, and sometimes offensive—is a rare, detailed elaboration of communism as reality, in view just beyond the imminent revolution.
