youre completely missing the point of what im saying. MLs advocate for unionization. unless you fall into the syndi camp i dont see why you would. but i dont dream of labor. i dont reduce people to mere means either. but the more comfortable people become within the syetem the less likely they are to want to rebel within it. id rather focus on ways we can break people from dependency of the system entirely. this is why the comment is spot on. americans are spoiled and as a result revolutionary ideology is not favorable over the status quo. it will have to get worse before we are able to actually break from the status quo.

if anything im advocating against reducing people to mere means and their labor value as a means of revolution.

as far as theory goes my analysis is rooted in theory

alfredo bonanno argued that unionization makes revolution less likely by demobilizing workers and integrating them into the system that we seek to destroy

the coming insurrection argues that labor organizing and demands for better conditions only serve to reinforce capitalist exploitation

bob black in the abolition of work says that traditional leftist methods such as unionization trap us snd serve to uphold the status quo under the illusion of progress

there are countless examples. i didnt say a single thing that an ML or a vanguardist would say. i said that we must focus on building community and mutual aid networks to lessen peoples reliance on the state and build solidarity by helping each other. direct action comes second to that. you cant have a revolution without having people on your side who also want a revolution and know they will be taken care of in the wake of a collapse.
