In the same vein, Peter Friedlander's 'The Emergence of a UAW Local, 1936–1939' is an excellent history that underscores that organizations like labor unions must develop a broader politics where working class power can be leveraged beyond contract bargaining and into society.

Lenin Rediscovered: 'What Is to Be Done?' In Context by Lars Lih https://t.co/GEZcXTj36y

Aside from the labor movement having a strong anti-war tradition, it’s telling that most cites re: “labor aristocracy” were published before globalization in the 90s. Here’s an excerpt from Botwinick’s ‘Persistent Inequalities: Wage Disparity Under Capitalist Competition’: https://t.co/z4DlrupoIM https://t.co/CuEgif4EFO

It even directly links to "Political views of Michael Harrington" under the policy and ideology section. This would make sense if you were required to buy a copy of 'Socialism: Past & Future' upon becoming a member—but the org simply isn't 'Harringtonite' in any meaningful way. https://t.co/QCwKzKzWga

@TheSocProgram @yayfreire Surprised to see nobody mentioned ‘The Romance of American Communism’ by Vivian Gornick yet! Also ‘Revolution in the Air’ by Max Elbaum for an account of the New Communist Movement/the US left after 1968

@karlymarx_ Labor and Monopoly Capital by Harry Braverman, pp. 31-104 Also this is one of the best written, accessible Marxist texts out there! https://t.co/47Ld9QECdw

richard nixon: normalized relations with china, established the epa, imposed price controls on the economy for the first time since wwii, created a gorgeous design language for the federal government—our last progressive president

Idk if I can agree with this point. Was just at Vivek Chibber’s ‘Confronting Capitalism’ event & one key point was the need to root ourselves in the working class—Aaron’s analysis here prioritizes think tank-type structures for experts rather than a robust party democracy. https://t.co/Z9FjQlEQZU https://t.co/Ayb2POr91n
