...which recognizes that it is the working people of the country who must make the revolutionary changes necessary to guarantee a society upholding the individual dignity of man. The working class approach is based on the fact that the major relationship in this society is that of worker and capitalist, employer and employee. Regardless of his salary or the color of his collar, the man who sells his labor power is a worker While there are many groups who fall outside these two major divisions of society (such as sharecroppers, small farmers, shopkeepers, professionals working for themselves...
...interest of the employee does not, in either the long run or short run benefit by the capitalist relationship. However, there are segments who can be co-opted by the capitalist system.

Never, however, can the entire working class be bought off for any period of time. Not only the external pressures of a world more and more unsusceptible to exploitation...
...recall that about two weeks before the Sept. 30 coup, Djakarta's Reds began preparing a foundation of some sort.

Anyone who talks of Russia's return to capitalism, he said, "only attests to wishful thinking." And though Kosygin's new measures represented the largest advance yet for the Western-style reform theories of Soviet economists like Evsei Liberman (TIME cover, Feb. 12), they were balanced by a tightening of the planning bureaucracy. Kosygin announced that the regional planning Sovnarkhozy set up by Khrushchev in 1957 would be abolished, and all Russian economic life put under 20 new national ministries...
