MAM response to your post about police!

[thanks and solidarity to everyone who helped get the word out to challenge the dominant liberal narrative of collaborating with police and the criminalization of militant activists]

iagree. like. an entire reworking on class identity considering how precarious most people are, considering the exploited 'temp' and 'intern' dynamic, the 'professional' and 'technocratic' dynamics, the positional privilege granted by institutions. i mean it's not crazy, i think, to consider that capitalism and liberalism has learned to adapt and recuperate traditional leftist class consciousness (by now) to serve it's own ends. oops, did i say that. just continuously saying that people are alienated from their labor and we need to 'unify the working class' isn't going to address people's changing relationship to their labor (less trade based more figurative, less career oriented more precarious, less organic more streamlined for efficiency) and/or changing mechanisms of capitalist control in the workplace (i.e. social enterprise companies using consensus in meetings but still keeping decision making in the hands of a few, but used to make workers feel like they have more control in their jobs so they are more productive, commodified dissent, consumer politics, and the non-profit and academic industrial complexes).
