So, not enough on its own, but voting (ground troops) working in the same direction in boring and steady fashion to accomplish the goal, enabled to overcome otherwise impossible blockages by massively influential but too-inconsistent-to-be-relied-upon-for-minute-to-minute-progress direct action (air support).
I 100% approve this message
(Actually, I would go a step further and say that unions make better units of coalition than do political parties made up of a professional politician class - that combines the best of both worlds, providing consistent progress within a democratic framework without nearly as much of a “neither of these assholes represent me” failure mode)
Agreed. Expecting politicians (especially in the US) to get a hold on corporate power and control it through legislative reform is a complete fallacy at this point. The only way out of the private capital hellscape is through direct, collective action.
