The organization of human society in such a way that it truly meets the demands of good behavior is what is now going through the world as a call. What has emerged under the newer capitalism, what has developed more and more, what has now, so to speak, arrived at the pinnacle of its consciousness, namely its class consciousness, is the social group of people that, for the time being, basically consists only of the working population, of the proletariat. What needs to be done with regard to this social group? Well, this social group has, in a sense, practiced self-help, and it has also achieved many things for itself, which it has wrested from the capitalist-led state, the purely capitalist economic order, and so on. Cooperatives and trade unions have emerged to organize the social group – initially, the masses of workers were anarchic, not in their attitudes, but in their grouping, initially anarchic. But as long as we were under the old economic order, these attempts at organization could not achieve any real goal. Despite all the praise of workers' protection, workers' insurance, even international workers' protection and so on, none of these things were suitable for properly organizing the social groups that live as the proletarian population. Because something was left behind in all these attempts at organization: the opposing capital and its representatives remained. And so it emerged, as it still is today, that there was a struggle between one social class, the supporters of capitalism, and the other social class, the proletariat. Struggle, competition, that is what emerged. And we have seen what we have come to through this struggle, through this competition: the unionized worker must wrest his wage increase or something else from the representatives of capital through the union. What the proletariat feels today clearly expresses how little the previous organization was able to fulfill what lies within the proletariat as a demand.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Das Einrichten der menschlichen Gesellschaft in solcher Art, daß sie den Forderungen vom Gutsein wirklich entspricht, das ist es, was als ein Ruf jetzt wirksam durch die Welt geht. Was heraufgekommen ist unter dem neueren Kapitalismus, was sich immer mehr und mehr entwickelt hat, was heute gewissermaßen auf dem Höhepunkt seines Bewußtseins, nämlich seines Klassenbewußtseins angekommen ist, das ist die soziale Gruppe von Menschen, die vorläufig als soziale Gruppe im Grunde genommen nur aus der handarbeitenden Bevölkerung, aus dem Proletariat besteht. Was ist zu erfüllen mit Bezug auf diese soziale Gruppe? Nun, diese soziale Gruppe hat in einer gewissen Weise Selbsthilfe geübt, sie hat auch mancherlei für sich erzwungen, was sie abgerungen hat dem kapitalistisch geleiteten Staate, der rein kapitalistischen Wirtschaftsordnung und so weiter. Genossenschaften, Gewerkschaften sind zur Organisierung der sozialen Gruppe - es waren zunächst anarchische Arbeitermassen, nicht der Gesinnung nach, sondern der Gruppierung nach zunächst anarchisch — entstanden. Aber solange wir unter der alten Wirtschaftsordnung standen, haben es diese Organisierungsversuche zu keinem rechten Ziel bringen können. Trotz aller Lobhudelei des Arbeiterschutzes, des Arbeiterversicherungswesens, sogar des internationalen Arbeiterschutzes und so weiter sind alle diese Dinge nicht geeignet gewesen, die sozialen Gruppen, die als proletarische Bevölkerung leben, wirklich sachgemäß zu organisieren. Denn es blieb bei allen diesen Organisationsversuchen etwas zurück, es blieb zurück das gegenüberstehende Kapital und seine Vertreter. Und so bildete sich heraus, was da war, und was heute noch nicht anders ist, der Kampf zwischen der einen Gesellschaftsklasse, den Trägern des Kapitalismus, und der anderen Gesellschaftsklasse, dem Proletariat. Kampf, Konkurrenz, das ist es, was sich herausgebildet hat. Und wozu wir durch diesen Kampf, durch diese Konkurrenz gekommen sind, daß der gewerkschaftlich organisierte Arbeiter seine Lohnerhöhung oder sonst etwas den Vertretern des Kapitals durch die Zusammenschließung abringen muß, das haben wir ja gesehen. In dem, was heute das Proletariat fühlt, spricht sich deutlich aus, wie wenig die bisherige Organisation erfüllen konnte, was als Forderung innerhalb des Proletariats liegt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":329,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/330/1919-05-13/p016"}],"english":["GA 330/1919-05-13/p016"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":329,"en_words":331,"ratio":1.01,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10155,"original_word_count":9700,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Reorganization of the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA330/English/SOL2024/19190513p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
