Rethinking Syndicalism in America
Brandon Parker
Charles Thompson
No they don't there is no "overton window"
Revolutionary activity can encourage more people to join the cause however unions today are not revolutionary
they don't
succdems are capitalists they seek the preservation of capitalist as much as free marketers
I didn't say "100% every single union has never been revolutionary."
What I said was in the US unions ended up not fighting capitalism but bargaining with it.
yeah hows that going for them?
I'm aware like I said above: I didn't say "100% every single union has never been revolutionary."
What I said was in the US unions ended up not fighting capitalism but bargaining with it.
key word "a hundred years ago"
Just because some workers fought cops does not contradict what I said.

This is entry-level anticommunist propaganda, my good retards. You're not going to convince anyone here by spewing the same horseshit lies we read and listen to every single day of our lives.
Owen Moore
I never said this
No one is saying do not organize. What OP is advocating for has already failed, we don't have to reinvent the wheel
Ryan Adams
And what hasn't failed, parties? Last time I checked they totally fell short of giving us global communist society. The CPUSA had a history of bargaining with the bourgeois state too when it became a prominent supporter of the War against Fascism. That doesn't prove that parties are useless, because it isn't their whole history. Just like it isn't the whole history of unions.
America is literally the worst possible example you could use to prove the inferiority of unions. Every major socialist party here that ever got big owed their modest electoral successes to the unions, which were the real backbone of the movement.
Dominic Cruz
a few years ago some "libertarian" tea party conservatives or whatever decided to irl shitpost by forcibly occupying a federal building with guns on a nature reserve in oregon and yell on camera about how everyone needs to do the same thing to protest big government
Xavier Parker
Syndicalism has failed, Leninism has the highest success rate.
Communism is the first world post WW2 has also failed so the material conditions are not right for a Marxist Leninist uprising.
syndicalism can be disregarded
yeah and hows that working out?
Henry Jenkins
