"Resistance to capitalism" or simply agitating for a bigger piece of the
pie? By appearances it has been the latter. After all, I love the CIO --
Daddy was part of it -- but there has been no overtly anti-capitalist
workers movement since the 30s, if then. ("FDR wants you to join the
union.") Or since dual unionism and the IWW.Nothing wrong with making deals. People gotta eat. It's part of class struggle, but does it deserve to be described as "resistance to capitalism"?
