(692 posts)when it comes putting the demands of the working class over that of the ruling class and the owners. Unity with lifetime "individualist" social scabs and lapdogs/apologists for capital and the ruling class is not something any working class person should be interested in regardless of what party brand or label they're wearing. This is not a "game" or "entertainment." Millions of working class people are suffering, dying, and being destroyed and exploited by capitalist social relations.
Defining what side of that line people are promoting and defending and who is doing the talking is important. Unity" is a nice slogan, but what the struggling and exploited need is the unity of the working class, and not unity with "Democrats" who would defend business as usual and the status quo.
The defining question of struggling working class people and the poor everywhere - at this moment is history - is to what actual result ? To what actual result have capitalist social relations benefited the working class and the human condition AS A WHOLE ? The answer is clear and the verdict is in for those making an objective assessment in material reality. Capitalist social relations have been an unmitigated disaster for hundreds of millions of people in the relativity short history of capitalism.
