Georges Sorel et al., « The Intellectuals against the Workers (1910). Presentation by Michel Prat », Mil neuf cent. Revue d'histoire intellectuelle, ID : 10670/1.2429bb...
In this article, previously unpublished in French and which first appeared at the beginning of 1910 in the Italian review il Divenire sociale, Sorel vigorously attacked revolutionary intellectuals as the adversaries of working class autonomy. This was in the context of a polemic between Gustave Hervé, editor of la Guerre sociale and Georges Yvetot, editor of la Voix du peuple, the official organ of the CGT. Returning to the criticisms that his stance on the Ferrer affair had evoked, Sorel reaffirmed his hostility to any subordination of syndicalism to democratic objectives.
