Cde Tsineng,
I am almost sure that we had earlier in the year ran a series about the relationship between Labour and Capital in this University, if not am sure it is certainly still coming. try and search it from the CU archives and I am sure Domza will be more than willing to help. If all those of us who want to learn particularly around the question you are raising, I suggest we start there so that we can have sharp tools to analize and engage our Labour economics of today, Thanks "All Young Revolutionaries to the Front" Stera Senti > Subject: Re: [YCLSA Discussion] Relationship between employer and the workers > To: [email protected] > From: [email protected] > Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2010 07:41:00 +0000 > > Cde Tsineng, > I agree with you when you imply that the differences between workers and the > capitalists are of an irreconcilable nature.
