Excerpt from The Meaning of National Guilds But it is in regard to Labour that the War has Shown most clearly the rottenness of Capitalism. We have only to compare the wonderful record of the workers in the trenches with the chaos and confusion in the workshops at home to see that something is hopelessly wrong in industry - not with the men, but with the methods. Labour, after being consistently treated as nothing more than a commodity, a raw material, or one of the factors of production, was suddenly assured that it was the backbone of the nation, that our common fate depended upon its efforts, and that only in the workshops could victory be won. True as it was, this admission was made only partially and always grudgingly. Indeed, save for high-flown appeals to the workers to be worthy of the trust that had never been reposed in them, nothing was done to give effect to so Vital a discovery. As a consequence, Labour, after a short period of flounder ing in the realm of national idealism, was again dragged down by the brute necessity of the capit alist workshop and the brutish hypotheses of the capitalist ideology to its old level of mere opportunism.
