Let no one say that every individual is free to draw the consequences from an actual or
supposed injustice; in other words, to leave his job. No ! This is shadow-boxing and must be
regarded as an attempt to divert attention. Either the elimination of bad, unsocial conditions
serves the interest of the nation or it does not. If it does, the struggle against then must be
carried on with weapons which offer the hope of success. The individual worker, however, is
never in a position to defend himself against the power of the great industrialist, for in such
matters it cannot be superior justice that conquers (if that were recognized, the whole struggle
would stop from lack of cause)-no, what matters here is superior power. Otherwise the sense of
justice alone would bring the struggle to a fair conclusion, or, more accurately speaking, the
struggle could never arise

sounds like the LP version of Flip Wilson saying "The devil made me do it!"
