The Confusion of Class Formation

The influence or lack thereof of the Bernie campaign on producing the teacher's strike wave has been a point of contention amongst labor reporters. But none of this can really be regarded as representing class formation, which must be understood as emerging from proletarian organization. This represents an implicit admission that the US left's focus on electoral politics has not catalyzed proletarian self-activity nor facilitated workplace organization. While my sono technically correct to note that party's primary campaigns have achieved a process of class formation, it turns out it is these middle strata whose organization they are facilitating.
