"It’s not difficult to imagine the reappropriation of wealth as long as we’re talking about material things. We can seize land, factories, equipment, houses, and goods. What is puzzling is how we can seize the accumulated corporate assets deposited as credits in the world’s banks. But perhaps this puzzle is not as difficult as it seems. This money represents claims on labor and goods. If it cannot be ex-changed for these it is worthless. If we can contrive situations where this exchange can be blocked, then in a sense we have reappropriated this wealth by freeing ourselves from its future claims on our labor and products. Such a situation would exist if governments collapsed and with them the international monetary system. The money would be worthless then. But if this happened, the savings of working class people would be lost also. So we have to invent less catastrophic ways to render the money of the ruling class worthless. We also have to start getting our wealth out of ruling-class banks and currencies, and putting it somewhere safe."

si les gouvernements s'écroulaient, et le système monétaire international avec eux, alors l'argent serait inutile. Mais si cela se produisait, l'épargne de la classe ouvrière aussi serait perdue.
