Example text
The only means by which peasants could ‘go on strike’ was through arming themselves and mounting an insurrection. All the accompanying dangers of armed insurgency followed. To ensure the legality of their rising, peasants frequently allied their revolts to the cause of a noble ‘pretender’ to the throne or appealed to their landlord or king to ignore ‘bad counsel’ and rule with their help. This need to legalise individual peasant revolts doomed them to failure. Repeatedly peasants were routed and crushed as aristocratic order was reaffirmed.
Peasants and artisans were also unable to support themselves outside the system by selling handicrafts as markets were now swamped with cheaply produced industrial goods (such as textiles) against which they could not hope to compete. Even workers with access to their own small-holdings could not support themselves outside the factory. At this point the workers accepted the logic of capitalism, political economy, and rushed to form ‘combinations’. They attempted, by banding together, to drive up the cost of the only market product left for them to sell, their own labour.
7 1 T W O H U N D R E D P H A R A O H S Unlike feudal society, bourgeois society is revolutionary. Once victorious the bourgeoisie remains revolutionary or else it is replaced by new, more dynamic members. And this fate befalls any feudal relic attempting to pose as a member of this new class even more swiftly. Although a feudal king may allow modern factory equipment to be imported from the advanced areas where the bourgeoisie has already triumphed, paradoxically the aristocratic factory owners who then pose as a bourgeoisie cannot produce their own bourgeois revolution.
