It’s okay for the government to arrest me if I refuse to wear a seatbelt while driving, but it’s bad if I lose my job because I refuse to get vaccinated during a pandemic.
I like Wolff but have been pretty suspicious of his idea that worker co-ops can peacefully revolutionize the world. Sounds like lib mischief to me!
This is like Hanlon’s razor but wrong.
Always assume people are a Fed rather than them being wrong/problematic
Hasn’t Wolff said before they were more famous the reason you organize unions and co-ops to provide breathing room for workers while letting them figure out themselves the system is impossible to change
Dunno if he said it, but it makes sense, not only from a strategic perspective, but also from a “let’s reduce human suffering” perspective.
If Unions and co-ops when done right can improve material conditions of particularly vulnerable working class individuals, provide opportunities for horizontal/democratic management structures to be created and mature, and undermine neoliberal ideology :zizek: it makes sense they should be institutions we as leftists should push forward.
