They were both wrong if they stated this as some universalist idea, IMHO. Germany, "everyone's model" back in this period, was "odd" in that the working class there organized its party, the Social Democracy, then organized their union movement. Something similar happened in Austria. But in the U.S. the social democracy of the day, organized in the SLP and then the SPA developed class consciousness hand in hand with various union struggles. The British working class organized their unions before the Labour Party. I think each national situation gives forth its own adaptation toward class consciousness and how it develops.
