thank you for this post. in the US where unions seem to be popular in specialized trades (teaching, sanitation, plumbing, electrician, etc) but lacking in other fields (food service industry and other minimum-wage jobs) if unions became standard across all industries, could we potentially have a large rise in de leonism in the US? also, as a slightly unrelated note, in the nordic countries they tend to operate in a tripartite system of private-worker-government running of businesses, could de leonism rise there as well considering the workers essentially act as their own unions when dealing with their bosses when bargaining?

Deleon and the SLP are virtually unknown in the US, so revitalizing the SLP needs to be done, hell you might need to start a Deleonist caucus in the Democrat Cops of America if you want to draw attention and recruits.

Union workers dont care about deleonism, they just want higher wages.

i don't think that's the case. workers in unions advocate for a variety of different things, such as working conditions, ensuring their employment through various means, healthcare, financial benefits such as 401k's, stock options, etc. if these unions learned they could take control of the means of production instead of having to compromise with an employer, they'd most likely want to do so as they want to secure the best conditions for their own labor. if they learned about de leonism from there, i'm sure they'd desire to go further with it.

Lenin fanboy here, we just want you to caution against militant trade unionism for its own sake, instead of leading to taking over the state as Biennio Rosso was a major reason Mussolini got the full support of liberals.

i'm pretty sure the strategy for de leonism is for the latter and not the former? the state dissolves and is replaced with trade unions that coordinate together to coordinate production to provide for everyone's needs appropriately, right?

And you think the global bourgeoisie will just… let you?

Well give me a reason why people should want marxist leninism as opposed to social democracy which has proven to provide better standards of living.
