Lobbying for The Pro Act? Pass.







I imagine the leftists won't appreciate what I'm getting at, but it's really quite an absurdity for these Democratic Party lobbying orgs to demand workers "fight" for legislation. They already put President Biden in office, using the time and resources of damn near every major trades union in the country, only to then demand workers now "join the fight" for legislation? i.e. lobby politicians to do their job! To simply hold up their part of the bargain? Biden started his campaign in a Pennsylvania trade union hall,  was elected with massive assistance of the unions, promised to be the "most pro union president ever", and yet one of his first events as president was to hold an event with major Democratic donor, Pennsylvania union busting law firm Bollard Spahr....

Workers should work to advance their collective interests, resisting bourgeois exploitation, regardless of whether it comes in the guise of a bureaucratised union or an HR department or a Democrat or a Republican. That these progressive astroturf orgs are now asking workers to "fight" to get the scumbag Democrats to simply pass a piece of legislation that will invariably serve the interests of it's union busting paymasters like Bollard Spahr, is insulting.

    One of the worst aspects of contemporary representative democracy is that it requires its people to be constantly involved in political debates. We all have the disadvantages of a direct democracy without any of the advantages, this pseudo-participation is useless if not to justify the incomes of media grifters

      Yes, absolutely, I think the increased demand for participation reflects an increasingly anarchic petty bourgeoisie, without the power to change any of the inputs, they're forced to keep moving the ball, changing the way power is legitimised. The insistence that voters involve themselves in movements and protest, as a mode of legitimating regular congressional politics, is honestly absurd. But it keeps people busy, and encourages them to blame themselves, instead of the system, when the politicians do nothing for them.

    As a non worker and non American you just throw out "the pro act will only help union busters" like a self evident fact. How will hurting right to work not help workers? How does tighter restrictions on the "independent contractor" label hurt workers? You may as well be a silicon valley pr department lol

      You're part of a faction who make it impossible for me to have a platform on Twitter, why should I extend you an invitation to come on my show?

      Makes sense that a timid Zionist like Aimee would fear a strong Aryan man like Freddy (Hitler 2)'s masculine energy.

    Aimee I can’t reply to you directly so I’m leaving another comment. I need to come on your show so I can debate Marxism with you. Your interpretation is heterodox, some would say it isn’t Marxism! In fact, people question whether you have an analytic method at all! I’m interested in picking your brain and getting to the bottom of it

    Aimee, you refer a great deal to the petit bourgeois--but don't recognise the term as you use it. Can you define what you mean by it please? As an aside, really enjoyed your show recently with Anna K

sucks. bigly.  so does israel.  so does the riddler. I don't agree politically with any bourgeois publication. I assess things in the world based on what happened, not how I feel about the parties involved. I think the riddler is a jerk, but if his position in an argument was righteous, I would stick up for the principle, irrespective of the parties involved. One need not like the person embodying it, to stick up for a principle. It's actually really easy, much easier than prevaricating, and formulating a post hoc rationale based on whether I like a person or not. I've got lots of friends with wack ass ideas, and know plenty of jerkoffs, who are more "right" on a number of political issues than people I personally like a lot more.  censorship (explicit and implicit) to prevent criticism of Israel is a real thing, a real problem, one that I condemn unequivocally. is that what happened to Nathan? no. I did a long twitch stream about it the other day, but just though

when prophecy fails

any leftist who thoroughly criticises the left, and follows through on the implications of that critique, will soon find themselves expelled from its ranks, through extensive smear campaigns, accusations of personal impropriety, political deviance, "fascist sympathies" etc by expelling everyone who doesn't abide by the unspoken opportunist logic of the market, they eliminate the possibility of critique. this forecloses even the possibility of basic human decency in social relations between members, let alone achieving any of the transformative political projects they ostensibly aspire to. every "critic" then, who remains within the left, who is ALLOWED to remain within the left, is a master of rhetorical illusion. they're selling a simulacra, "criticism" that always affirms  the premises of the left, never questions them, never unsettles them. these critics are engaged in a shell game, thier only function is mystifying the fact that the left is rea
