It was one thing for occupied to not have structures to lioke on board people into, because it was literally planned by like 20 people. That's why labor unions are so important. It's not just that they can challenge capital in this unique way, you know, at the point of production or the point of service, or whatever it'ske. They're also ways for people to to be together, to understand themselves in in a sustained, fact-based fashion. To me now, i'm just like, as such, humorosts like, 'you have to do the work of building institutions and interstructure'
