Coming from a middle-class background in a country where trade unions were neutered when I was an infant, I've got no real understanding of what 'organisation' actually looks like, so to me it sounds like invoking magic when people start insisting on the urgent need for it. That said, the best, ie: most relatable explanation I've seen has been in Stephanie McMillan's work, eg:
or in this interview from around 34.00:
A weird situation when much of the UK's traditional working class has basically been outsourced to China and other countries in the global south. Are we all 'petit bourgeois' now then (apols to Keith)? And does this limit our organising to solidarity with working class struggles overseas or fighting onto the last scraps that remain here? Not seeing any easy answers, but the 1% can certainly kiss my arse* in any case! cheers, I * - unconscious re-working of a rugby song my uncle sometimes sings (he fled from communist czechoslovakia so hates socialism with a passion):
