The words "Docks" and "Liverpool" come to mind.
I see a complete detachment [c.f. Scargill, 'Red Robbo', Bob Crow and
many others] between the interests of the 'workers' and the maintenance of the 'Class War'. There is still a deeply-rooted mind-set in some of the Union oligarchy that believes it can change the Nation though the efforts of the proletariat. Accordingly, IMO, they continue to manipulate with no genuine interest in what happens to the workers
per se ... just that the 'inevitable march to a workers' society' is the only desirable cause, and the workers are the cannon fodder in that cause.
Either that, or they're just money grabbing, dishonest, untrustworthy, morons who are only in the game for self-interest.
