[lbo-talk] labor leadership not so sure about Wisconsin

[Carrol Cox]

Look, the odds are high that the Wisconsin struggle will end in defeat, one
way or another. As Luxemburg recognized in the passage I quoted, that is
_not_ the measure to apply. The Commune Lost! Thousands were executed.
Thousands sent into exile. The Commune Lives. We are going to face a large
number of defeates. We did in the '60s. If we merely calculate the chances
of winning, we are as bad as the Union officials.

Never fight! You could lose! And if you lose, others could, too! Be afraid, 
be VERY afraid.  It is safer to do nothing, not draw any attention to 
yourselves, compromise before any conflict occurs.. Alan Rudy

Yes, and whatever you do, don't watch Aljazeera live stream, so you can see 
how to deal with get tough governments. Wisconsin AFCSME already has the 
cops and fire on their side, or they never would have gotten this far.

And if the union officials are like their Egyptian state sponsored 
counterparts, then who needs their permission?
