    Classes need coherency and leverage in order to make demands, which is typically done by coordinating leadership. We have leverage, but how are we supposed to realize any of it without class coherency? If you can’t, then it sounds more like you’re aiming to create a new political party… right?

    In another world, the government would help curate a coherent working class by strengthening and encouraging workers unions and coalitions between them.

      The working class has all the leverage we need…. We literally make the world run with our labor, and the world does not run without it. We do need leadership, but independent of the labor bureaucrats, most of whom sell us out or limits our class struggle. Workers can form their own committees within their unions to start mobilizing their power.

        I feel like this has been tried before, though, in the 1900s. What makes this time different? Would we have a better strategy, now?
