    The key to creating significant change is not electing this or that individual ‘hero’ to office hoping they will bring down the system from the inside or something. Over and over again we see that people have to compromise with the superstructure of power that exists around the party they are member of in order to maintain the support of that party and thus keep their position. Instead, we must create a unified and sustained labour movement that no politician can say no to and keep their job. That’s why Shawn Fain’s appeal to every union to unify their next contract negotiation with UAW on May Day is so important. We don’t hope for change, we make it happen.
