“The final proof that this alien indoctrination which begins in nursery
school is based on the splitting of the family is that those working class
children who arrive (those few who do arrive) at university are so brainwashed
that they are unable any longer to talk to their community.
Working class children then are the first who instinctively rebel against
schools and the education provided in schools. But their parents carry
them to schools and confine them to schools because they are concerned
that their children should “have an education”, that is, be equipped to
escape the assembly line or the kitchen to which they, the parents, are
confined. If a working class child shows particular aptitudes, the whole
family immediately concentrates on this child, gives him the best conditions,
often sacrificing the others, hoping and gambling that he will carry
them all out of the working class. This in effect becomes the way capital
moves through the aspirations of the parents to enlist their help in disciplining
fresh labor power.”

“La séparation d'avec nos camarades masculins ne s'est pas faite sans douleur. Il nous semblait qu'ils auraient dû se réjouir que nous élargissions par notre lutte le front anticapitaliste, mais pourtant nous n'avons pas trouvé beaucoup de soutien de leur part [...] Nous avons aussi souffert d'un manque de reconnaissance, puisque nos modes d'action n'étaient pas du même ordre que les leurs, ils ne les voyaient pas, et disaient que "nous ne faisions rien". De même qu'ils n'avaient pas vu notre travail domestique, ils ne voyaient pas notre travail politique autonome [...] De plus, les femmes "en mouvement" changeaient et les rapports, y compris personnels, se brisaient.”
