Woohoo it's #SocialistSaturday! Why not start your weekend with six hours of conversation (so far) covering 1800 pages (so far) of research about the emergence of #Trotskyism in the #USA? Tons of fun for committed revolutionaries everywhere! Except Stalinists. I mean, y'might wanna hide those icepicks, eh? ;-) #NewBooksNetwork #History #AmericanHistory #Histodon #Socialism #Communism #Politics #USPol

Abolish the wage system!

#Solidarity #Sabotage #GeneralStrike #SocialistSaturday

I made a decision this morning to cancel my #union membership with #Unison. When I joined - when I was still a student #nurse - it was because I felt they had more backbone than the #RCN. I thought the RCN used to just bend over for the Trust, whereas Unison were more on our side.

Unison were also affiliated with the #Labour party, of which I was a member.

I’m now a member of neither, and neither are anything close to as left as they were. #RedTories, both.

“They ought to understand that, with all the miseries it imposes upon them, the present system simultaneously engenders the material conditions and the social forms necessary for an economical reconstruction of society. Instead of the conservative motto, ‘A fair day's wage for a fair day's work!’ they ought to inscribe on their banner the revolutionary watchword, ‘Abolition of the wages system!’” Marx, [Value, Price and Profit]
