Bonanno's 1975 meditation on the means to be used in pursuit of the anarchist project. Emphasizes the utility of unions in propagating capitalist control of industry and agriculture.

Abstract: 
Unions have rapidly made peace with management, and can now be considered a decidedly reactionary form of government organizing drives: hence "union capitalism". Syndicalists seeking "reform" within the framework of existing unions are only reinforcing the legitimacy of a socialistically hostile entity. Organizing effective groups of militant revolutionaries thus means "showing [the rank and file of the workers] the difficulty, approximations, and principally the objective limitations which 'anarchist' work meets within syndicates."
