This document, written in 1930 by L’Ouvrier Communiste, a French political publication linked to the communist movement of the early 20th century, examines the relationship between violence and the development of class consciousness within the proletariat. It posits that class consciousness arises from the lived experiences of struggle and confrontation with capitalist forces. It asserts that violence is a necessary element for the proletariat to overcome hesitations, advance to a higher level of consciousness, foster class unity, and challenge the bourgeoisie.
