If we can avoid massive collective issues that would be appreciated as there is very little agency the individual has to address those and that helpless ess can often extend to the more solvable individual matters we all grapple with but also occasionally rise to conquer.
I live in an increasingly dystopian capitalist world where simple necessities for life are increasingly challenging to obtain, while the pressure for higher productivity for less pay continues to increase.
Start learning a new language so you can move to a country that actually cares about their citizens :)
Join an organisation agitating for proletarian revolution. If there aren’t any near you, you can start with trade union work to build a mass of militant workers that can form the base of a political organisation.
I work in a very small company in an IT type of field. I fully support unionization in general, but I don’t think it’s relevant to me at the moment. Do you disagree?
I would disagree, and I personally know people who have unionised IT workers. I also personally know people who have unionised workers at small companies. I don’t understand why you would say unionisation is not relevant to you? If you’re a worker then it is relevant.
I’ve got a pretty sweet gig, all of us do at this company, and I think “rocking the boat” could only make my situation worse. We are only like a dozen people and there’s only one person in each “department”. We aren’t being mistreated and we are privileged enough to be able to leave if we were.
Think of unionizing as ensuring that the good situation you have now will endure over time, for you and the workers after you. Without unions, the only thing stopping your workplace from going from heaven to hell is your boss’ boss’ mood. Or they moving on with their lives.
