Both recognize patterns in material reality and adjust their actions accordingly. This creates a situation where we are right more often than most but nobody listens to us or takes us seriously. Occasionally someone may even note that we are right but then not listen to us the next time around. Instead of using tactics that work in the material world most think they can impose their ideas on reality and double down when it doesn’t work.

I'm in Carlisle, PA, and I would like to make a local group of affiliated lefties. I do not know how many of you are located in Cumberland county though?

created a burner for this as i’m scared to risk my job….i live in texas—in a large predominantly blue county (i’m sure you can guess where). two years ago or so i joined the iww, but have had 0 luck reaching anyone in my community to organize my workplace (retail). i’ve reached out to my local iww and not had anyone reach back out? i’m asking for genuine help and tips (and maybe a community i am unaware of) to organize—which feels very doomer like fat chance considering i work for the largest private employer in texas (again—easy to know where… i’m just scared and trying to be cautious).
it feels very VERY hopeless and i’m looking for some direction and tips since i want to try and make actual change. a large hurdle i face is said company gives and pays marginally more than most and i find many of my coworkers, especially older ones, falling for the “well you can just go work at [redacted] instead”.
i am a college dropout (want to go back for nursing but i simply cannot afford to work less—i’m a part timer who busts ass to get enough hours to qualify for benefits as i need mental health and medical resources) and this is the highest i can be paid with my “lack of skilled labor experience” but i am still paycheck to paycheck and the debt just climbs every month and it is making me want to tap out if you know what i mean :\
any major city texas residents who have organized? this employer has ZERO unions and i cannot afford to lose my job. i feel very very hopeless and scared and depressed. sorry for formatting and please feel free to privately message me for more info.
