Labor movement is underrated.

We need more communists in it.

Not just the IWW, but the AFL-CIO and independent unions too.

We need to dominate this movement.

Edit: I mean, we need to project a sense of presence in the movement, be involved, have standing, and work with workers as workers. Sorry for giving the wrong impression. I'm not proposing entryism.

This is exactly the logic that fucks shit up. Let workers do workers stuff, we don't want no leftist infighting now that there's traction.

I know, I know, but I want to clarify that I'm not asking for entryism.

We need to be involved.

That's what I'm arguing for.

That's good, but do it as a worker, rather than as a communist. One is helpful, the other is harmful.

If you're up for it, joining Tech Workers Coalition would be a good starting point.

I'm not disagreeing.

Communists should prioritize their own orgs, not take over someone else's.
