In _Muscles and Blood_ there is an account of the people living in a silver mining town in Montana. The mine threw so much lead dust into the air that people in the town who had never gone near the mine had blue lines in their teeth from the accumulation of arsenic.
All this implicit sneering at _people_ for not having better judgment of food or better judgment of their union leaders or more sense than to drive SUVs pisses me off royally.
I don't know if it is counterproductive from a radical reformist perspective. It is certainly counterproductive from any marxist perspective.
