you see this question come up all of the time: why doesn't the working class organize itself better, anyways?

it's maybe an example of how sometimes answers are so obvious that you can't see them. or maybe an example of the disconnect between intellectuals and workers. but, it's actually not hard to figure out if you've ever had to work these kinds of jobs.

they're simply too busy working.


bakunin realized this and suggested that revolts had to come from the unemployed. and, if you look carefully at successful and unsuccessful revolts, you'll see he was mostly right.
