Pretty interesting which ideologies appeal to which industries occupations. For ex., anarchism was popular in agricultural, shipping, transit, dockworkers, slaughterhouses, tobacconists, textiles, municipal workers, coal/mining industry & among peasants, lumpen, artisans & trades

In other words, anarchism was popular in primary products, consumer goods, reproductive/logistical/transport/service labor, and among affective, intellectual, social & sexual laborers.

On the flip side, Bolshevism & then social democracy caught on in heavy industry, steel etc., merchant marines (this was shared by both), but also similarly among professionals (lots of teachers, lawyers & military officers).

While jobs like arms, police, automobiles, etc, while unions caught on, they were always bureaucratic & never really ideological, co opted from the get go given the state & corporate nature of these jobs.

The knee jerk response of some hardline MLs would be to say oh it’s productive v. unproductive labor, but that’s not true given the agriculture, mining, consumer, and shipping connection.

What it really is, I think, is the degree of autonomy & centralization of the labor involved. i.e. steel, heavy industry etc were always managerial & centralized, but shipping or agriculture was often decentralized. Textiles & mining are a mixed semi-exception.

the other axes seem to be how capital intensive the industry is, and how abstract vs. physical it is (with a broad understanding of both, and with many exceptions).
