MODERATORS
Reform or revolution.
-Rosa Luxembourg
Read a book and grow the hell up you capitalist sympathizer. (We are way past the point of no return when it comes to reform)
Advocating for unionization efforts is far more damaging to capitalism than adventurism.
I'm sorry comrade. You are advocating for "the propaganda of the deed" over someone directing people to one of the best and only forms of organization that exist in America.
Unions are where people feel solidarity. Unions are where people begin steps to radicalization when they realize organized efforts CAN improve their material conditions.
Rosa Luxembourg was also very critical of adventurism and the "propaganda of the deed". So it's ironic to quote her.
Pointing people to actually organize is not "reform". We aren't in a world that has a massive trade union party that is advocating against the socialists and working with the liberals to prevent their popularity from rising. If we get there I'll have a conversation about unions being a part of "reform".
I think you might have done some reading. But it definitely doesn't sound like you've tried to apply any of it to the world you live in today.
We aren't getting to revolution through adventurism.
