Yes this in relation to the Luigi struggle session. Use the developing class consciousness to your advantage, don’t dismiss this moment out of hand because The Adjuster has median voter type beliefs. Don’t be an active do-nothing internet leftist. Talk to your friends, neighbors, coworkers, family that may also have some incoherent beliefs but support The Adjuster and instead of dismissing them as a reactionary for not being your perfect type of socialist after a lifetime of American education you could try to educate them into other areas of leftist thought. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Don’t be the type of communist Lenin talks about here that splinters into their own “perfect” union of only committed communists.
When we had an organizing drive at my job I convinced everyone to bring a large union into the project on account of the advice of this chapter despite my coworkers’ hesitancy. They strung us out for a while, really didn’t help at all, and then ghosted us and we all gave up. I later found out we were ghosted because the organizing director suddenly quit because he felt he was fucking over working people being there lmao.
I still think we should agitate in the reactionary trade unions if we happen to be there, but I got a lot of experience with them due to my organizing and some other connections I built and I definitely believe the CIO people had it right in the 30s when they went their own way.
