Michael, you wrote on the Utah energy list (but I am copying my reply also to pen-l):

I want workers to have control over production, not "more" control as you say but full control. At this time this is not an achievable objective, therefore it does not matter how I phrase it, it will not happen. At the present time I want workers to start thinking that they *should* have and *must* have control over production. This is a big taboo for workers, they consider it management prerogative. How am I trying to break through this taboo? The argument is that capitalists are looting and squandering natural resources to the detriment of the population at large. Maybe I should have written "God-given" natural resources, because it is clear that natural resources do not belong to the capitalists but to everyone. I am trying to argue that through environmental degradation and devastation, the capitalists have lost the right to control the means of production. I think this is the strategic issue where the environmental movement and the labor movement can come together.
