Hey @whatisleftpod @MoustacheClubUS what do y'all think of anarchist orgs that take a "building worker power from below" stance? (thinking of groups like Black Rose/Rosa Negra etc)

that is correct. i have watched workers self-organize -- watch in the professional sense -- to fix issues with their overtime, commuting pay, etc. that was bottom-up work. small adjustments like this are possible. but an "abolish it" / "general strike" platform...no.
also, when workers have organized from the bottom up to redress grievances, i can tell you...these workers were not "pals." they were not in agreement in re ideology, etc. they had a shared goal but not a shared language. the latter is far far harder to "teach"

I mean, this is what Marx has in mind when he talks about working class tendency towards solidarity right? Common aims, common struggle etc. But now that the language difference is so entrenched, articulating a common goal seems impossible.

This is why I appreciate yours and
@GoodOlBoysPod continued emphasis on the reality of self-interest in the working class. Can't ignore this stuff if we want an effective political strategy - 1 more reply
