But Karl. ==
Isn't banging cans a class action in the circumstances?
And what is a political strike - the withdrawal of labourpower from the
workforce, the denial of labour for bosses' exploitation - but a class action?
Don't be an ideological snob who thinks you know more of the answers than
others.
People take the appropriate action to the level of their experience and
understanding.
That is how they learn revolutionary politics, not from lectures or texts.
Hopefully they will not go down the disastrous blind alleys that the
elitist Communists "led" the working class in the last century, in their
arrogant belief that theory came from above and outside the experience of
the working class. They were thus rejecting the very basis of marxism.
