War of the Classes
The class struggle -- The tramp -- The scab -- The question of the maximum -- A review -- Wanted: a new law of development -- How I became a socialist
Transcribed from the 1912 Macmillan edition by David Price
"War of the Classes" by Jack London is a sociopolitical treatise written during the early 20th century. The text delves into the inherent conflicts between social classes, particularly focusing on the struggles of the working class against the capitalist class. London draws from his personal experiences as a socialist, reflecting on societal changes, the dynamics of class struggle, and the potential for revolution. The opening of the work begins with a preface that contextualizes the emergence of socialism in America and its transformation from a fringe ideology to a more mainstream concept. London shares anecdotes from his youth, illustrating how societal perception shifted over time as the socialist movement gained momentum, particularly following significant electoral gains. He asserts that the class struggle is indeed real, presenting strong arguments for the existence of a deep-seated divide between the wealthy and the working-class. Following the preface, he lays the groundwork for a more serious discourse on the nature of class struggles, emphasizing that the rising awareness and organization among the labor class present an undeniable challenge to capitalism.
