    It’s about class. The North American concepts of left and right are meaningless abstractions.

      I am totally for working with people of different believes, but only goal-oriented. Working with the right on unclear goals often is pointless because they don’t actually believe in them and just use it as a talking point.

    Being fiscally conservative means limiting what rights workers get.

    Being socially conservative means limiting what workers get rights.

    Which part of that belongs in a labor movement?

      No. It is either very naive or done in bad faith.

      You can be leftist / progressive without shutting the door to people that don’t fully agree with you, but pretending that work reform (or antiwork) can be something a-political & divorced from progressive ideals is going to set you up for failure.
