[Marxism] Polish Workers Walkout?

I think Yann makes very important points, and the strike as it has 
explicitly opposed chauvinism and thrown the BNP out should be supported. 
That is the only way to combat "recreep" of chauvinism.

 I would add, however, that  it certainly should be about more than the 
"right to a job where you live."  It should be about the deconstruction of 
the working class that goes on during expansion and contraction-- where the 
whole world is enterprise zone, a maquilladora, a la the fantasies of Jack 
Welch.

It should be about one big European union all right, with a small e and a 
small u, that of the workers-- with continental union labor organization and 
standards of wages, protections and social benefits.

By the way, this thing about housing the workers on barges-- that is 
literally right out of Jack Welch's [former head of US General Electric] 
fantasies-- along with the 19 year old triplet dominatrixes in spike heels 
and latex.  I think in his version the factories were on barges and floated 
to wherever tax structures and wage rates were most "welcoming."  Since we 
know capital and wage-labor are opposite identities, this floating the 
workers on barges is same-same.
