“The peoples owe all the political rights and privileges which we enjoy today in greater or less measure, not to the good will of their governments, but to their own strength. Governments have employed every means that lay in their power to prevent the attainment of these rights or to render them illusory. Great mass movements among the people and whole revolutions have been necessary to wrest these rights from the ruling classes, who would never have consented to them voluntarily. One need only to study the history of the past three hundred years to understand by what relentless struggles every right has had to be wrested inch by inch from the despots.”

“If the enforced sale of the workers labour power was the cause of their slavery, then their organized refusal to work must be the means for their liberation.”

Os métodos do anarco-sindicalismo: Greve. Greve geral. Boicote de consumo. Boicote de produção. Sabotagem, sob o mote “para um mau salário, um mau trabalho”. “The policy of go slow was the first and most effective form of sabotage. There are a hundred means by which the workers can seriously disturb production. The railway workers in France and Italy threw the whole system of transportation into disorder by doing nothing more than to adhere to the strict letter of the existing transport laws, and thus making it impossible for any train to arrive at its destination on time.”
Quando nas condições mais desfavoráveis, a greve não é possível, há sempre outra maneira, que passa pelo cumprimento estrito do que está patente na lei/contrato. E a nossa geração bem sabe, como se vê pelo boicote às horas extraordinárias levado a cabo pelos Médicos em Luta, ou pelo movimento de Quiet Quitting que tanto perturba a entidade patronal.
