Re: [Marxism] Should IT workers unionize?

["farmelantj@xxxxxxxx" <farmelantj@xxxxxxxx>]

Louis Proyect quoted from the Nation:

"This 
constituency is a key component of today's white-collar uprising. They 
are swing voters, but they aren't the socially liberal, economically 
conservative suburbanites pundits always say are the key swing 
demographic in presidential elections. They are folks whose 
libertarianism has led them to vote Republican and dislike unions but 
whose economic self-interest is now pulling them in a populist direction."

It's my observation that when these people do become
politically mobilized, instead of going leftwards,
they tend to be drawn towards
Lou Dobbs-like economic nationalism and anti-immigrationism,
