Le Sabotage

A vivid exploration of labor‑movement tactics, this work traces the evolution of sabotage from a colloquial expression to a deliberate tool of class struggle. Beginning with its early mentions in the late‑19th‑century congresses, the author shows how workers transformed a simple act of “working with sabots” into a potent symbol of resistance, despite initial suspicion and accusations of immorality.

The book then turns to the practical side of the struggle, outlining the moral logic that underpins class solidarity and detailing the various methods of obstruction that have been employed on the shop floor. By weaving together historical anecdotes, literary references, and theoretical reflections, it offers listeners a nuanced picture of how everyday grievances can blossom into organized defiance, setting the stage for the broader debates that follow.
