“I had a professional background in economic development and was fluent in the language of business - even while having fought and bled politically for organized labor in the auto industry.”
― Shortest Way Home: One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future
― Shortest Way Home: One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future
“Ending poverty" sounds good, and so does "raising wages" - these are safe sound bites. They simply ignore the actual history of how any meaningful progress has been won in America or anywhere else - victories that required organization and power.... Mandela didn't change South Africa by being nice, despite the whitewashing of his story after his death. Mandela embraced armed struggle: his analysis of the power context of apartheid demanded it. Each power analysis is contextual, and no, please don't interpret that statement as a suggestion that armed struggle will work here. In the American progressive movement, including unions, there's virtually no discussion of power, the power required per fight, or the relationship between power and strategy.”
