People pulling together; collaborating, co-operating, aiding and assisting each other. Quotidian examples of socialism in action; self-less actions generated by sentiments of mutual aid and love. We all do it and we're all on the receiving end of it, at some point or another. Happy Xmas Comrades!

I repeat: Any group of workers, not consulted and instructed by diktat (as in the case of the Posties, in which agreed-upon plans for modernization and consultation have been torn up by Management), who decide to strike, occupy workplaces and resist the command and control of a system in crisis - whether they are Italian, French, Chinese, British or Spanish - do, in my own biased opinion, deserve respect and support. Of course, you appear to have edited out the key middle section of my brief paragraph in which I express support for self-defensive actions only in the eventuality of Management reneging on agreements or not consulting their employees over changes in their terms and conditions. I do care about realities, along with reasoned, considered, un-edited, accurate arguments. Your reference to a dispute over tea-making facilities for ASLEF train drivers took place 7 years ago and a fuller account can be found here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/storm-in-a-tea-urn-threatens-the-tube-665828.html

Edge

No struggle, because I find it, like most of your points, to be naught but meaningless muddle. Any group of workers, not consulted and instructed by diktat (as in the case of the Posties, in which agreed-upon plans for modernization and consultation have been torn up by Management), who decide to strike, occupy workplaces and resist the command and control of a system in crisis - whether they are Italian, French, Chinese, British or Spanish - do, in my own biased opinion, deserve respect and support. Never once have I proposed a totalitarian state, nor do I believe the resistance of autonomous workers' movements to an economic system in crisis to be a stepping stone towards the establishment of such a state. In fact, I believe the only answer to the current crisis in the democratic states are greater doses of democracy.
