This is a new unmoderated discussion list for activists and working people who are interesting in talking about labor, class, and work in the 21st century. As many of us know from daily experience, the nature of capitalism has dramatically changed from the last time a mass labor movement existed to challenge it. We have also seen the tremendous gains that the anti-capitalist movements have made in challenging and discrediting globalization and other new capitalist schemes. Despite the rhetoric about an alliance between Teamsters and Turtles, the techniques and methods of the new direct action movements have been slow to translate into the world of the workplace.
Possible topics for discussion on this list:
* working with and/or subverting traditional unions * the changing nature of capitalism * building solidarity networks * anti-sexist and anti-racist organizing within our struggle * new methods of organizing * workplace sabotage and subversion * using new forms of direct action in the workplace * creative methods of promoting class war * how to get the boss class to fight itself
This list is for people who want to think outside of the box and throw everything on the table. This is not strictly an anarchist list--a multiplicity of views is encouraged.
This list is not moderated, but you have to be a member to post to it.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
