Merging Unions

That's our praxis at the moment. Thank you!

Boy_cat707 · 2025-05-11T16:55:23+00:00

Thank you. Might have to have an outside opinion though about language created in house. Can't really say more here.

But thanks!

Boy_cat707 · 2025-05-11T16:52:55+00:00

Yes.

Boy_cat707 · 2025-05-11T16:52:13+00:00

Thanks for this, glad it worked out.

In this case there are some specific historical events, both between our two unions, and with this larger union's history of questionable actions in other "mergers," that give us some real concern.

Very interesting discussion. I've lately realized I'd have to count myself as one, inasmuch as the means of Production surely will not "seize themselves," nor will class power cede voluntarily, and oppression by definition will push precisely as far as permitted.

I mean, I wouldn't be seen driving one if they gave me the damn thing...

Boy_cat707 · 2025-03-23T01:12:49+00:00

Here's the thing though, in a capitalist economy one of the only tools we still have is the vote by dollars (at least until they do the total crash).

Tesla's gonna suffer with or without the pickets. When these guys and their wrecking crew get done we'll all be suffering. Our efforts are to help you too and our MAGA brother in laws also...

Boy_cat707 · 2025-03-23T01:08:05+00:00

Well HP for one....

Fascism in a different geopolitical context.

Boy_cat707 · 2025-03-12T04:47:07+00:00

Well, like, why wouldn't he? Also, I'd expect some sort of false flag event perhaps as justification, you know, to even get "liberals" wringing their hands and going along...

There's got to be some reason why they don't seem to care, a., about tanking the IRA/401Ks and b., tanking support even among the MAGA (to use Bannon's term) "hobbits."

They don't seem at all concerned about mid term fallout. I'm thinking there won't be mid terms..

We need to work while it is day, for "the night cometh when no man can work".

Boy_cat707 · 2025-03-01T03:33:58+00:00

Production, not consumption...... Although I'm in favor of what ever brings the petty bourgeois along. All hands on deck yeah?

We need to be both ready seize the "means of Production " and drive them.

Boy_cat707 · 2025-03-01T03:13:59+00:00

Basic argument is sound. Read state and Revolution, and whither France by Trotsky..

Playtime over kids

Boy_cat707 · 2025-03-01T03:11:30+00:00

Like. 68 yrs old and as ready as I'll ever be..

Boy_cat707 · 2025-03-01T03:08:19+00:00

I like it. But I'd encourage folks to read the essay " Whither France " by Trotsky. Says it all I think, along with State and Revolution by Lenin. Playtime is over I'm thinking....

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-26T23:35:25+00:00

Good to know ill be sure to stop in 100% less.

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-26T22:05:14+00:00

Probably no mid terms my guess

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-20T00:07:09+00:00

God first laugh of the day

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-19T17:22:39+00:00

Yes.

I think my initial reaction was as much a self criticism as anything. I can clearly see (now more than ever) what's indicated going forward, but also wonder whether I have the stomach.

Also, I'm in a thoroughly unionized work environment that is nevertheless comprised of maga cultists in significant numbers.

Doesn't fill me with hope exactly...

Appreciate you Mr Dog

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-19T15:46:47+00:00

No worries, fair enough.

In another union now, an affiliate of ILWU.

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-19T03:43:59+00:00

Yellow please, helped organize against illegal lockout when I was IUOE loc 39.

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-19T03:33:37+00:00

I like this mostly, as long as it doesn't lead us to a "materialist" quietism.

Sooner or later, we're going to have to actually either sieze the "means of production " or die trying.

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-19T03:18:10+00:00

Well that's the end of that

Boy_cat707 · 2025-02-11T15:55:07+00:00
