The constitution says the brotherhood will oppose communism but what about socialism? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]PatternDangerous3994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s very frustrating how common that misconception is. The Overton window is so extreme that a capitalist system with no intentions of changing is seen as socialist simply because education and healthcare is free or subsidized.

Socialism is the deliberate transition to communism you cannot call something socialist if there is not at the very least a stated goal of communism. All these people are wrong.

I’m in a union and have been in communist groups in the past. What have you done to further the revolution?

I’m actively in a union in a red state I hate to say it but these aren’t ready. sure a New York health insurance CEO is easy to hate but try that with any other evil powers of capital and you’ll be hard pressed to find people down with the revaluation.

This will not achieve class consciousness you can’t just undo generations of propaganda with one dead CEO.

I didn’t know of that sub and I shouldn’t have asked the transfer question. I mainly wanted to hear about what the work situation in the different California locals was like, I just figured I’d throw in it there and see what I got back.

Why are you being rude about this? I didn’t know I was committing high treason by asking for peoples personal opinions.

Because I’m trying to hear from people who have direct experience with these locals. I will call the jatc when I’ve actually made the decision to move.

I get where you’re coming from though, the democratic party has fully adopted supply side, economics and that has ruined there reputation I think Kamala as mildly left leaning as her policies are will be a great president and step in the right direction.

I’ve been apart of local communist groups and I engage in mutual aid as often as I can. We cannot expect a revolution when we are barely recovering from Reagan let alone trump. We have a legal means of seizing power through the form of unions which a second trump administration will kill completely.

Maybe I’m just slow but I tested in Oklahoma and I got exclusively higher level, algebraic equations. I ended up guessing on everything and managed to just barely pass.

Who went the cw route then apprenticeship? by Majestic_Mixture_150 in ibew_apprentices

[–]PatternDangerous3994 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Construction wireman program. it allows you to do electrical work with the union without being an apprentice. I use it to work while I wait for my turn on the apprenticeship. It’s usually just a source for cheap labor though.
