    You fix that by seizing the means of production, generally with unions.

    You protect union rights by both voting for candidates that will protect unions, and also fighting to unionize your own workplace.

      While your proposition is still better than the neoliberal merry-go-round, unions can only serve as a base for vanguard worker’s party. Unions by themselves never once seized the means of production and ultimately most of them turned into tools of class collaboration.

          What’s wrong with Marxism? Why do you advocate for Syndicalism, does it just sound good to you, or is there a materialist reason for it?

            First off, nobody takes Marxism by itself. If it’s accepted, it’s always with extra things attached and other parts removed.

            Second, my issue in this case is the Lennist part. A vanguard party degrades into cult-like behavior, and this is very consistent with ML groups big and small.
