Only your pessimistic view? Or in fact a gloomy non-future for the free association of labor?
No thoughts on the fact, "that the credit system will serve as a powerful lever during the transition from the capitalist mode of production to the mode of production of associated labour; but only as one element in connection with other great organic revolutions of the mode of production itself..." ? (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1894-c3/ch36.htm) I am aware of the low grade of unionization in the US and problems of the organization of labor. But what knocks me off my feet is the dicrepancy of writing off unions by large parts of the US left and not reflecting this fact politically in terms for the transition of the US society. hk At 22:35 14.07.2011, michael perelman wrote: >Yes, our unions are reduced to capitulation "making sense." > >On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 7:11 AM, Hinrich Kuhls <[email protected]> wrote: > > The real political problem as reported by the NYT > > in its article on the new GM plant > > > http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/13/business/with-chevrolet-sonic-gm-and-uaw-reinvent-automaking.html > > in a nutshell: > > > The U.A.W.'s president, Bob King, said the union ... > considered > the significance of a competitive > > subcompact to G.M.'s overall product lineup.
