Either you are some sort of of authoritarian who takes instruction from Marx, Lenin, Trotsky or some other source you look up to instead of taking instruction from the members, or you are being paid to promote the right wing cult of the 'self-made' person.
Another nut job.
Where can I find a link to these right wing cults? I could do with some extra cash.. :whistle .

Right wing people do not believe that everyone is equally important, they believe the powerful have a right to exploit the weak. People who believe they are 'self-made' generally believe all of their success is down to their own doing and the weak have themselves to blame for where they are so they deserve to be exploited. Right wing people think people in lower paid jobs are less important. 'Self-made' people who deny luck believe the same thing. How many times have you heard self-made people say, "You make your own luck"?

We shouldn't have people in the union who believe lower paid members are less important. It is not in the members interest to allow people to join who do not believe in our principles just so HQ can get their subs. The BT constituency allows managers to be CWU members and this has got through on the argument managers can be 'working class' if they have to work for a living.

and a whole host of neoliberal free market think tanks and employers' organisations. They might not want a mere engineer though, even if you do think you are superior to mere non-achieving posties. :Very Happy

Nah, they're usually blocked due to management training............ it's where they practice shitting on posties from a great height. The next time you see your DOM taking a step ladder into the bogs you'll know what he's up to.
