Workers of the world, relax!

[Gregory]

Interesting to see the response to this thread.
I am suprised how so many toss it out right off since US workers are too
nearsighted, individualist, lazy, and just not smart enough. Undoubtably,
many are caught on the hamster wheel and a few actually feel that they are
getting somewhere but in general I think most wage earners are pretty hip to
the ruse. Work sabotage- from plain loafing to outright property
destruction- is evidence enough of worker dissatisfaction, and a better
place to emphasize than unionizing.
Yeah, I know, the eternal question of "le praxis" raises its ugly head. As
Black points out, what if the ultimate goal of a general strike was just
that. Unions are out but my progressive side holds out hope for the Greens
who should naturally take up the less (zero) work banner. As I mentioned
before, economic growth in a market or socialist economy is directly equal
to ecological devastation. Do the greens have work hour reduction anywhere
in their platform?
But more than likely, since what I am talking about requires a paradigm
shift obviously beyond the scope of simply further rearranging production
arrangements, the praxis will come out of radical breakdowns in social
structure which, I truly hate to sound so millenarian, a world-wide
recession coupled with intense ecological conditions.
