Union Organizing Called Cosplay by Leftist Critics
Original: Union organizing is the furthest from revolutionary in the modern day. American's in AFL-CIO affiliates make me laugh at
A debate is surfacing on the political left over the revolutionary value of mainstream labor unions. One commentator argues that union organizing is far from revolutionary today, mocking members of AFL-CIO affiliates for 'cosplaying as radicals.' The remark taps into a longer-running tension between anarchist and radical circles, who often see established unions as bureaucratic, and organized labor, which remains a pillar of mainstream progressive politics in the United States.
Why now: Ongoing leftist criticism of mainstream unions as moderate rather than revolutionary
