To whom....,
"Well, history tells us two things :
i) trade unions, because they negotiate how labour is
exploited, can never be removultionary institutions
this side of a revolution.
ii) Every attempt to set up "Red Unions" has been a complete
failure ( the most recent example in Britain was the
EPIU , a split from the electricians union ).

Adam, one can't be dialectical and a slave to history. Unions need
not negotioate how labour is exploited, but can negotiate the capitalists out
of their catbird seats. You have to get a little syndicalist spirit, man.
That and get rid of that filthy Queen.
