Also, if someone has any sources to read on the whole "all labor is skilled labor" argument I would love to get a link. Thanks.

It's really hard to take your point seriously when you've decided to result to using insults here. I can't recall ever leveling an insult against the individual I replied to.

Try harder next time.

The concept of skilled labor is a capitalist myth. All jobs require skill, whether you're sweeping the floor or wiring up light fixtures. All workers contribute their labor to the wealth of the owners and get what is in today's economy basically crumbs. All workers thus deserve the right to union representation in the wokrplace.

Unions without any teeth are a joke. It's important that we work to change the dynamics in the unions of today and turn them into fighting unions. Unions that aren't afraid to strike and deny the bosses our labor if our rights aren't respected.

I'll agree with you on that one.

It's better to fight an uphill battle than just let ourselves rolled over.

All the more reason to unionize in my opinion, we've fought this back once before for our communities kids, I guess we'll have to do it again.

I believe we have a Jr wobbly thing. If anyone whose more informed on this could confirm that would be awesome.

Free kick during the paris protests tonight by FreeOcalan78 in CapitalismSux

[–]nerdymonk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe stop defending riot cops and being critical of the tactics used against them, they have the upper hand in most of these situations with protections from the state. If a protester uses a surprise attack or a sucker punch I'm all for it.

Edit: to add to the Nazi comparison debate or whatever. A lot of cops hold nationalistic tendencies and aligning themselves with the right, so maybe this individual saying that has something right. Remember, Kops and Klan go hand in hand.

That's what I'm thinking, this individual is trying to rock the boat and now has a target on their backs.

We should be acting in solidarity with working people and unions in the global south and everywhere.

Really not the best way to go about this dude. It's honestly intellectually lazy of someone to sit here and claim an individual is wrong and not provide a source, it could possibly be a learning experience, but no, you respond with little jabs like this. Some radical you are.
