  Ernest Mandel: On Workers' Democracy (1968)
Rejecting workers democracy means quite simply that you want to maintain a situation like the one today in which the masses of workers are unable to make their opinions heard.
It is composed of salaried employees (of the workers organizations or the state) who vacillate and waver between the camp of capital and of me Proletariat, some times leaning toward one, sometimes toward the other, depending on their particular interests and the pressures to which they are subjected.
While the Social Democratic and Communist workers were happily bashing each other’s heads in – the reformist leaders shared the responsibility this time equally with their Stalinist counterparts – neither came to power, massacred thousands of worker militants, and dissolved all the workers organizations.

 Tronti's Workers & Capital
In 1873 a violent crisis hit the German economy, and the workers ferociously defended themselves against unemployment and wage reductions with "increasing lawlessness and lack of discipline" -- as it is phrased in a law introduced in the Reichstag.
The Gotha congress claimed that it was the workers' duty to keep away union politics, but it held that it was also their duty to join the Party, because only this could improve the workers' political and economic conditions.

 The Workers' Fight against Fascism
To fight against fascism means for the workers in the hitherto democratic countries to fight first of all against the democratic branch of fascism within their own countries.
To step from the ground on which the workers' class struggle against capitalism was waged in the preceding epoch to the ground on which it must be continued today presupposes full insight into a historical fact that is not less a fact because it has served as a theoretical basis for the claims of fascism.
The second thing the workers may be expected to do, once the importance of the change in the basic conditions of capitalist economy has been fully experienced and grasped by them, is to reshuffle their hitherto most cherished revolutionary and class ideas.

Under genuine workers' rule methods will be found to combat and cripple the influence of unhealthy ideology--but such methods will not suppress the right of the masses to speak, hear and organize independently--but on the contrary will encourage and be based on the revolutionary energy and enthusiasm of the masses.
We present to workers a vision of "workers' rule" where 3% of the population (the ruling party) decides what everyone else is allowed to think and talk about.
My view is that such full participation would require that the workers have the right to freely communicate their views and organize themselves--whether the organization is for the purpose of working longer hours for less pay--or for going on strike.

 The Bush NLRB's Attack on Workers' Rights
Voluntary recognition/card check agreements are a vital alternative to the meat-grinder of the NLRB election process, during which workers struggling to form a union are subjected to weeks and months of employer pressure, harassment, threats, surveillance and intimidation.
These remedies were designed to overcome the harsh impact on workers of their employer’s anti-union campaign tactics and include having the owner read the NLRB Notice to Employees, allowing the union access to bulletin boards and to address workers on-site, and providing the union with a list of employees’ names and addresses.
The costs and consequences of suppressing workers’ rights and denying democracy in the workplace are devastating, not only for workers and their families but for social and economic justice for all.

Under the Geneva Conventions, both civilians in crisis and the aid workers who seek to help them are to be protected from harm.
