    Honestly fuck this. You organize around labor because it is your only theoretical hand on the levers of power on the engine of the industrial firm. Capital is in charge of the industrial firm as it exists and produces, and will and has used that historically unprecedented power to drown and marginalize you and whatever non-industrial movement you come up with. It doesn't even have to use violence, though that is always the backstop, it will simply make and replicate more material culture than you until you are up to your ears in it, no matter how loud you scream that you are a revolutionary.

    Its not that lazy workers within a worker state are sabatours or wreckers. They just don't get what exactly is at stake until it is lost, slipped through their hands. Now, we can argue whether or not it was ever in their hands to begin with, but pretending that there never was a chance or project is simply butchering history for western ears.
