Arguments for autonomous workers' nuclei from Bonanno and others in this collection of translations from Italian writing of the 1970s.
"We have often said that the autonomy of the individual is determined by his or her acceptance of responsibility in making decision concerning his or her life: this responsibilisation can also be called 'consciousness'. It would be preferable to define it 'will'. The will to do for oneself, the will to intervene in first person, the will to break the spellbound circle of religiosity, the will to overturn tradition, the will to break with orders from above: in a word, the will to build one's own autonomy. And it is here that the discourse on the autonomy of the individual meets that of the autonomy of the working class." Alfredo M. Bonanno, Kronstadt Editions, MAB: Worker's Autonomy.
