It’s actually not like building a lego set. If you’ve never touched theory or praxis you’re going to need a ten minute video just to figure out how to organize a union at your work even though that’s a pretty simple job if your state allows it and I know I had anxiety considering they were basic organizing tool because my boss might try to fire me. And even if it was as simple as building a dual power network and sharing resources was still a pain in the ass.

Trying to imagine how telling people that over throwing capitalism, joining all the factions fo the left and verifying that they do indeed work together and fit inside a mass movement of the working class after figuring out what theory you need and leading the working class from scratch is like building legos is not a mark of being a complete dweeb.

Especially when a lot of people who have never even read theory from previous revolutions before are probably completely new to that sort of thing in general and have no frame of reference.

In short I’d really like chapos to shut the fuck up.

    Ive offered before but if anyone needs pragmatic advice on forming a union it was literally my job and I'd be more than happy to talk to anyone about it just tag or DM me

        I've thought about it but the problem is the advice or strategy varies wildly depending on circumstances and industry. Its hard to write something specific enough to be of use without giving someone bad advice and I'd hate to fick someone out of a job like what happened to Beatnik.

        Honestly the best information I've found for the broad strokes is WorkingStiffUSA who did an AMA here a while back. Her youtube series is great.
