The autonomy I mean is class autonomy. . . . This form of autonomy has two meanings: First, it is a class movement, a movement of labor against capital, a movement of workers as subjects of production against workers as objects of valorization. At the same time, autonomy goes beyond the workplace: it describes a mass movement against the capitalist reduction of everyone to consumer objects. In both cases, autonomy means an attempt to free oneself from the logic of capital. . . . Autonomy does not mean to reject the principle of organization. It means to reject a certain form of organization: a form that prioritizes the interests of the organization over the interests of the class. ~ Johannes Agnoli, German autonomist
