"In this way, the state commune transforms the workers into soulless parts in the huge, centralised communist machine, parts who are obliged to be directed for their whole lives to a single purpose -- the maximum fulfilment of certain production tasks decreed by the state, and who are condemned to a minimum field of initiative, independent action and personal choice."

Gregori Maximoff was born on November 10, 1893, in the Russian Empire. He became an important figure in the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist movements, dedicating his life to advocating for workers' self-management and expressing his thoughts widely through his writings. Maximoff was an influential theorist who provided momentum to the syndicalist movement, with efforts aimed at achieving a society built around cooperative, worker-managed labor unions.
Maximoff passed away on March 16, 1950, but his ideas continued to influence anarchist and leftist circles. Some of his notable works include 'The Guillotine at Work' and 'The Political Philosophy of Bakunin'. These pieces contributed enormously to anarchist literature, providing in-depth and compelling arguments for syndicalist approaches. Maximoff's contribution to the anarchist movement remains significant today, echoing in the principles of collective management and economic decentralization in various radical and leftist movements.
