    I didn’t say it wasn’t relevant.

    The Teamsters has been anti-socialist/anti-communist ever since its forming, or close to it. Almost all US unions have been ever since the Red Scare purges. As long as that remains the case, I don’t have especially high hopes for worker solidarity, not domestically, and internationally even less so.

      Orthogonal usually means, unrelated, irrelevant. Sorry if I misunderstood.

      I don’t need the links.

      Teamsters are still more AFL than CIO that’s for sure.

      “I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way. I am a fool.”

      Not believing in worker Solidarity is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. You have to build it. You have to work. I believe that people are good. That people can be better. I believe that long term unionization is our only hope against corporate dominance.

      Have hope. Get out and work for change.
