THIS motivated the "current largest labor action in USA"? Not the countless other reasons but THIS?
US petty burgies at Sigliberalism are apparently mad their comission-fueled comfortable life are being endangered and are trying to twist Marx to defend it. Also they suddenly started to love IP and cry crocodile tears about poor artists being ripped.
Also lol the donwnvotes in this thread are something entirely else, guy just shared his (admittely non-40k style) pics and every positivity for him is being dogpiled.
I read Sakai with an open mind and most of his observations are accurate. When someone says something and it explains the world really well, who am I to argue against that. That's what made me a commie, I realized that liberal thought doesn't really explain what I see in the world. Communism does.
Well i still don't think he is correct in the conclusion, his observations (with which i mostly do agree too btw) merely point that at the point of writing the contradictions were not enough to overcome the centuries of intensified class warfare by bourgeoisie, including last 70 years of domination, and that is absolutely correct, as observed by the lack of revolutionary actions back then, but (giving benefit of a time passage) right now we observe contradictions intensifying.
And as a matter of fact, what they say about “current largest labor action in USA” being motivated by this minor thing is abjectly false. As i said, it's just petty burgie murican subreddit malding about their own class issue, which isn't proletarian, the guys whining about IP spilled that over.
I agree with this.
