May Day fell flat for me, it was mostly middle-class libs and leftists protesting Trump/Elon.

Nice day!

what the hell



 

Morning, Leftypol.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Been around since the 8chan days.

I was recently elected the president of my Union local, representing about 150 workers. Most of whom are fairly lib and older (50+), though there's a contingent young folks who make up the executive and are like 30% based.

Any recommendations for radicalizing the base and subtly introducing Marxist practices into our pretty dull union? We are a component of a much larger national union, so my influence is fairly limited. Currently, I'm working on mutual aid networks and am networking with a local workers council to make connections with like-minded unions/union folks.

>blue collar
pays like shit, leaves you exhausted, will kill you
>retail and customer-facing
pays like shit, you basically endure abuse or idiocy for eight hours a day
>pink collar and healthcare
can pay very well but the hours are insane and you also have to endure abuse constantly
>white collar work
best-case scenario, pays well, but you're still sitting through 4-hour meetings of nothing but bullshit and wasting your life away in front of a computer
i know i'm missing something because i don't understand how wagies aren't constantly miserable 90% of the time.
yes, sometimes you get a job you just inherently vibe with, or you get to work on something you're actually proud of, like you save someone's life or you help in the construction of a nice useful building
but all of that is rare. the rest of the wagies, do they just dissociate and swallow it down? is it just genuinely not that bad from their point of view?

the surplus labor force has done exactly that, because they are so alienated they can't even function as exploited wage slaves:
<The Opioid/Overdose Crisis as a Dialectics of Pain, Despair, and One-Sided Class War Struggle
<The opioid/overdose crisis in the United States and Canada has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and has become a major field for research and interventions. It has embroiled pharmaceutical companies in lawsuits and possible bankruptcy filings. Effective interventions and policies toward this and future drug-related outbreaks may be improved by understanding the sociostructural roots of this outbreak. Much of the literature on roots of the opioid/overdose outbreak focuses on (1) the actions of pharmaceutical companies in inappropriately promoting the use of prescription opioids; (2) “deaths of despair” based on the deindustrialization of much of rural and urban Canada and the United States, and on the related marginalization and demoralization of those facing lifetimes of joblessness or precarious employment in poorly paid, often dangerous work; and (3) increase in occupationally-induced pain and injuries in the population. All three of these roots of the crisis—pharmaceutical misconduct and unethical marketing practices, despair based on deindustrialization and increased occupational pain—can be traced back, in part, to what has been called the “one-sided class war” that became prominent in the 1970s, became institutionalized as neo-liberalism in and since the 1980s, and may now be beginning to be challenged. We describe this one-sided class war, and how processes it sparked enabled pharmaceutical corporations in their misconduct, nurtured individualistic ideologies that fed into despair and drug use, weakened institutions that created social support in communities, and reduced barriers against injuries and other occupational pain at workplaces by reducing unionization, weakening surviving unions, and weakening the enforcement of rules about workplace safety and health.

Recruiting is literally the biggest joke of all time. Genuinely when I attend recruiting events its like the most suffocating, artificial vibe i've ever seen in my life. Everyone, from the students, to the recruiters, to the professionals are faking everything. "Networking" is essentially just sucking up to whatever recruiter, manager, or employee you can find and bothering them with nothing burger emails. Recruiters probably get literally thousands of emails from students who all think they're special. Networking job fairs are filled to the brim with a bunch of sweaty peeople in suits trying to prostrate themselves the best for some dumb internship. Linkedin is just a cesspool of the most performative and fake characters of all time, In fact i'd say a good plurlity of all posts and job listings on linkedin are AI generated and fake. I genuinely can't wait until AI destroys white collar america and all the former Excel desk jockeys can be part of the revolutionary vanguard.

im halfway into electrical engineering, i was between this and civil engineering, hope i made the right choice.

Now that I think about it and have some sense of sudden clarity, my parents have been doing really well as psych majors by offering therapy, the key is that they offer it at a lower than average rate and thus are overworked, but it seems to me that health care in general has been going up, and psychology might be the easiest "medical" field to get into. Its more or less accepted now that LLMs are poor replacement for conventional therapy

I think more communists need to start going into manufacturing. I don't mean skilled trades, but straight up low skill assembly-line work. Usually wont require more than an associates or a certificate if even that.

Why is it socially acceptable if not encouraged in all political axes to hate work but it's considered blasphemous to hate school?

Why is it that whenever I ask most people what they learn in school, all they tell is the dumb shenanigans they committed, even to the point of wanting to officiate "rites of passage" based on dumb reckless childish stunts, but they cannot remember one intellectual thing?


Whenever adults are asked to help with schoolwork, their minds are blank. Whenever it comes to bullying, they have no backbone except for punishing victims for self defense.

I notice that the people who miss school the most usually are those with no work ethic or people who kinda have some unfulfilled teenage quests.

I'm not against schooling, but we need to revamp it entirely. Trying to segregate worldly factors from the classroom for the sake of "protecting the younguns" usually results in an immature society.

I believe a lot of our problems with labor and education is due to how modern society views them as parallel worlds with differing rules.

School should reflect the workforce in social treatment, type of tasks, and infrastructural design

School serves a big factor in capitalism: it frees up women to do labor.
The increase wage pressure that comes from a doubled labor pool more than makes up for the money spent on school.

School also serves as a way of cultural homogenization, breaking up ethnicities and absorbing smaller groups into the mainstream worldview. Basic assumptions like "rich people are awesome!" or "Arbeit Macht Frei!" is drilled into the youth, leading many to adopt capitalist logic in adult life without knowing "why" it feels "right".

Also, schooling can be very unequal, and in most parts of the world it's segregated economically. The poor people's kids go to poor schools, where the poisoned social environment encourages stupidity. The people with money move to neighborhoods or pay for private schools where the other middle-class kids are, and where an environment of good behavior and (slightly better) learning takes place.
The rich kids go to school with all other rich kids for super networking.

You’re a minority.
It’s not just a matter of what was or wasn’t learned in school but rather if you can remember it and if it was essential to industrial affairs

> School also serves as a way of cultural homogenization, breaking up ethnicities and absorbing smaller groups into the mainstream worldview.

This is the biggest gripe I have with schooling. It does cultural homogenization of childhood.
Children whom are ethnic, LGBT, or worldly are seen as dangerous elements.
Children are expected to conform to behavioral stereotypes based on their age

They’re not allowed to wonder about worldly things nor are they allowed to be cynical


>Basic assumptions like "rich people are awesome!" or "Arbeit Macht Frei!" is drilled into the youth, leading many to adopt capitalist logic in adult life without knowing "why" it feels "right".


I’ve never seen this in school. But, Kids are told that hard work alone gets you rich. Which leads to cult of personality.
Also kids are taught about capitalism having flaws but they’re not taught about how to look beyond capitalism

>>1641

Schools are still accused of being “underfunded” although schools get a lot of taxpayer dollars to do benchmark tests.
But if capitalists really wanted to offset the costs of schooling, why not make schools into workshops?
