Look up Vladimir Ilyushin, and long time no see!
Here's my less bombastic thread on trade unions (the one I copied and pasted over to Babble): http://www.revleft.com/vb/trade-unio...838/index.html
"You know, as a wob, I would be concerned about this kind of entryist wrecker behavior if I thought for a second you did anything other than be ridiculously pedantic on the internet and would actually go through with it." Coming from my revolutionary-centrist POV, the "brands" of the IWW and of the IWA would be enhanced if they took political action more seriously. That's the only reason why I suggested what I suggested.
"Yes, that's exactly what the left needs. More meetings and less action..." Comrade, why are you accusing me of "propagandism"? Consider the slogan "educate, agitate, organize" for a moment. Most leftists focus merely on "agitate" and maybe the odd "organize." More sectarian groups like the ICC and World Socialist Movement focus merely on "educate." The historic Kautskyan-Marxist center focused, above all else, on "organize."
Yes, I am that same genstrike. I enjoy the lack of Fidel in this place
