Well, as Steve's question hints, there's a difference between the limit and the process that approaches the limit. Anarcho-syndicalism isn't tunneling. Unions, labor, community organizing, etc. are tunneling. And anarcho-syndicalism would be the state to which they're tunneling. [⛧] I'm a bit torn between social democracy and anarcho-syndicalism, though. Social democracy seems like a kind of 80/20 compromise ... lipstick on a pig. But visions of anarcho-syndicalism seem either way too vague, or come with too much special pleading. I tend to think anything that will eventually work will be ugly ... because reality is ugly. I enjoyed Sabine Hossenfelder's stubbornness here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUWbe5KGaQY


[⛧] Revolution achieves nothing but the chance for one set of idealists to take over from another set of idealists, putting in place ridiculous abstractions that foment pain as the details are "worked out".
