I support the writer’s guild strike because they are not part of the bourgeoisie. The same can’t be said of a lot of these rich actors who own a ton of capital themselves. So on the one hand, it kind of seems like the bourgeoisie is fighting the bourgeoisie on this one. On the other hand, not every actor in the guild is as successful as Tom Cruise, so some of those striking actors are working class.
One point I haven’t seen yet is how high-profile strikes like this get media attention, and how people we’d like to bring around to communism perceive that and communists’ reactions to it.
We want labor actions to be popular. We want to be positively associated with labor action, and known as the ones who will go to the mat for workers. We don’t want to be libs who may cheer at first but quickly hem and haw and undermine.
