SynopsisSo you're just taking a bunch of s*** and combining it and pretending it can be applied to 21st century America
it's not "a bunch of s***".
they are all theories on socialism and all apply to different stages of socialism.
Oct 7, 2022·1 replyAmericas means of production are financial which means mutual aid is even less potent of an organizational tool than ever before
exploitation Is higher than ever and productive labor is at a low so the only way forward is to actually organize and prove your interest in other people’s economic labor than to go have a neighborhood cookout with what little wages you makeStupid ass OP

How does Mutual aid organize a community
And how does an organized community organize labor? Does everyone just work at the same place ?
How come the only words you’re using itt are the ones me and Synopsis have used previously ?

imagine thinking spending wages neighborhood cookout is the only possible way to do mutual aid. maybe you need to read more theory.
you know people can like, grow food, right?
Oct 7, 2022A communal farm feeding the populace building a solid foundation is good example of mutual aid
Yes the water, land, electricity etc still have to be paid for to private entities but it’s a community of people relying on each otherA community that can democratically achieve their goals

the only words? the only thing you guys brought up first was dual power which wasn't even a part of what I was saying at the time because we were talking about the first step (mutual aid) until you both started flailing.
or do you think you have a patent on the term organized labor.
Mutual Aid organizes a community by making neighbors in the community dependent on each other. An organized community is step for widespread organized labor, as locals work together to organize jobs in their area and defend each other if necessary.

Mutual aid is a step towards that. Once people’s problems start getting solved they will question what was causing the problems in the first place.
And it’s not weird, there’s a ton of theory that reconciles mutual aid with Marxism. It’s an organizing tool and a outreach tool.

The emphasis is way too much. Why not focus on labor and tenant unions for example? That actually strengthens workers power

Because of the skepticism for unions in America.
Which is why fostering community development is an important step in changing the attitude towards those.

I don't really think there's that much skepticism toward unions in the US. Polls consistently show 60-75% approval of unions regardless of party affiliation or demographic, and also regardless of party in power. The only time this opinion dipped was the mid-late 00s esp. during the recession, where unions were being blamed for domestic labor issues and the recession early on. However that perception didn't last as labor union approval almost immediatedly went back up and has been steadily increasing since then. If anything, unions were more popular when the US was more conservative. WW2 and post-war era US approval of unions was consistently like 80%.

Blanket union approval is a lot different than supporting the actual role unions play tho. A lot of the people who would say they support a union wouldn’t support a strike.

I think it depends on the union. Support for the amazon strike was pretty high because of how negative of a perception there is against amazon as a company - even if among right wing people they just don't like amazon because it's "woke" or "globalist" as opposed to exploitative. By comparison, yeah, people got pissed about flight unions because "how am i supposed to make my flight now?". A lot of it does depend on context though. Public sector unions (police, teachers) are also polarizing for good reason separately. A lot of how/why unions are supported tends to have more to do with social packaging than economics in the US, which I'm sure you'd agree on.

Absolutely. Which is why I think organizing a community is an important first step to changing the social perception of unions.
There is a culture of selfishness in the US (spawned by capitalism and “competition”) that needs to be eroded before we can truly organize
