"By Mr. Call: _Q._ You want something better to eat and to wear,
and better houses to live in?
"_A._ Yes, we want to dress better and to live better, and become
better citizens generally.
"_The Chairman_: I see that you are a little sensitive lest it
should be thought that you are a mere theoriser, I do not look upon
you in that light at all.
"_The Witness_: Well, we say in our constitution that we are
opposed to theorists, and I have to represent the organization
here. We are all practical men."
Another offshoot of the same Marxian _Internationale_ were the "Chicago
Anarchists."[17] The _Internationale_, as we saw, emphasized trade
unionism as the first step in the direction of socialism, in opposition
to the political socialism of Lassalle, which ignored the trade union
and would start with a political party outright. Shorn of its
socialistic futurity this philosophy became non-political "business"
unionism; but, when combined with a strong revolutionary spirit, it
became a non-political revolutionary unionism, or syndicalism.
