we will proudly continue to work... even if we are engaged in a strike.”

The leverage-understanders have made a union

This isn't even a US specific thing

these are the same social chauvinists trend that Lenin was railing against around the failure of the 2nd international in Europe, which is illustrated in their 'proud' WWI history.

Strikes in the global south: actually refuses to work and directed directly and indirectly against amerikkkan hegemony and imperialism

Strikes in Amerikkka: we will only work if it materially supports genocide

fuck their strike, yankees can suffer without international solidarity.

Fucking weak. I won't shed a tear if the national guard starts teargassing them for refusing to transport Beanie Babies.

Bernie was the compromise.

MFW "leftism" in Amerikkka is someone suggesting to NOT reimport all the exploitation we do in the global south back here, and STILL getting booed for being too far left.

Third Worldists proven correct yet again

The imperial core proving it lacks any recognizable revolutionary potential; exhibit 238285-cdx...

Jesus Christ this is disappointing.

In order to truly understand this contradiction, the most explosive contradiction capitalism has engendered, the centers/peripheries polarization must be placed at the heart of the analysis and not at its margin.

But after a whole series of concessions, the forces of the Left and of socialism in the West have finally given up on giving the imperialist dimension of capitalist expansion the central place that it must occupy both in critical analysis and in the development of progressive strategies. In so doing, they have been won over to bourgeois ideology in its most essential aspects: Eurocentrism and economism.

The very term imperialism has been placed under prohibition, having been judged to be unscientific. Considerable contortions are required to replace it with a more "objective" term like "international capital" or "transnational capital." As if the world were fashioned purely by economic laws, expressions of the technical demands of the reproduction of capital. As if the state and politics, diplomacy and armies had disappeared from the scene! Imperialism is precisely an amalgamation of the requirements and laws for the reproduction of capital; the social, national, and international alliances that underlie them; and the political strategies employed by these alliances...

The discouragement that has overtaken the forces of socialism in the West, who find in the situation of the "socialist" countries an alibi for their own weaknesses, has its source elsewhere, in the depths of the Western societies themselves. As long as it does not have a lucid understanding of the ravages of Eurocentrism, Western socialism will remain at a standstill...

Eurocentrism is a powerful factor in the opposite sense. Prejudice against the Third World, very much in favor today, contributes to the general shift to the right. Certain elements of the socialist movement in the West reject this shift, of course. But they do so most often in order to take refuge in another, no less Eurocentric, discourse, the discourse of traditional trade unionism, according to which only the mature (read European) working classes can be the bearers of the socialist future. This is an impotent discourse, in contradiction with the most obvious teachings of history.

I "get" the military one, but what is the deal with cruise ships? Those losers can forego their vacation

Fuck their strike; it is meaningless.

the absolute state of yankkkee unions

The ILA is committed to making sure the treat goblins can at least go vacationing.

Issue with all unions in the west. Infested with social chauvinists. We need to fight to re-radicalise labour unionism.
