Where my construction-workers at?

[Sven_Linderot]

Amongst 10000 of leftiest I KNOW I CAN'T be the only one...... come on....

[Felicia]

I'm a labourer, but not a construction worker, sorry, but there's some on the board.

[Organic Revolution]

used to be a construction worker.

[Sven_Linderot]

Same here, manual labor.

I should think nearly most of the people here are either laborer or unemployed. Maybe the odd middle class person. I’m exempting people from the opposing ideologies forum.

I always got the impression that most people on this board were middle class.

I think most users on this board are actually students.

I use to be a contruction worker now I am a auto mechanic

I worked construction with my dad last summer. I actually kind of like that kind of work, but i have decided to never do it again. I promised my brother I would never work with cherries or a shovel ever again.

Same here - but labouring is just as imporant on a building site as any of the trades. It pisses me off the way we're at the bottom of the wage/labour hierarchy, yet often do the most strenuous work, and are vital in the smooth running of the site.

I'm surprised that there are this many other manual workers on here - most people in revolutionary movements tend to be from middle-class backgrounds, have middle-class jobs, or are students.

and aint that some sad shit? why is it that this tend to be the truth all over the world that having communist belifies is something for the middle-class? At least for the west and I guess the reason why it's manly middle-class from the third world is cuz the working-class don't got computers and the internet....

[OleMarxco]

Wruahahhahahah. That's the sad truth. The people who care for the workers ain't workers. What a dilemma. I guess I fall in that box too - But it doesn't matter, educations are just restrictions in my book ;)

[Warren Peace]

Stockholm? I have family there and I've been there, cool city. How is it being a worker in Sweden?

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

I think the composition of communist movements in a given place reflects the development of revolutionary potential. In places where we're closer we'll find more working class communists (and where you find more working class communists, we're closer). I suppose in some ways, that kinda goes without saying . . .
In Quebec, the communist movement seems primarily working class. Most of the Communists I met worked in like, warehouses and garment factories and the like.

RETAIL, REPRESENT!

[refuse_resist]

I've done some construction work in the past. My most recent jobs however have been working at warehouses.

[Archpremier]

I'm a student... but all of the people that live on my street are construction workers. So... yo.

[Amusing Scrotum]

I'm learning to become a plumber. Not such a working class job these days with the money you can make doing it. However it is better than working in Tescos'.
