Better here means better for leftists and the world ig, but is it better if the Americans are divided in politics or if they’re united on something? what’s better for organizing and them joining unions etc… historically has it been better conditions for unions and Communist organizations when the Americans were divided or when they were united?
Workers united, everyone else divided is best for us,
Unions are good, organizing is good. Assess the character of the union you enter, try to get in a leadership position and use political theory to resist deviations, state subversion and ideological drift.
Be wary of stuff like the hard hat riots, dont let the state hijack your project.
