Examples

And ergatocracy, to paraphrase the formula previously quoted, will signify the administration of the workers, for the workers, by the workers.
-
For our present purposes, three main phases may be distinguished : aristocratic and theocratic culture ; democratic culture ; ergatocratic culture, or the culture of the phase upon which civilisation is now entering, the culture which is at once the cause and the effect of ergatocracy or workers' rule.
-
We may hope that in a distant future a victorious and cosmopolitan ergatocracy will find a means to supply the intellectual, moral, and spiritual needs of modern civilisation, but the passing of capitalism and personal property to communism and the supremacy of organised Labour will be a process both long and somewhat painful to what has presumed to call itself "an upper" and "a middle class."
Note
The word 'ergatocracy' comes from Greek roots meaning 'work' and 'rule.
