"Adorno is usually caricatured as some ivory tower mandarin ruminating on abstruse aesthetic questions, so why would a group of angry communist workers recommend reading him? Because Adorno undertook a critique of capitalist society without “affirmative traits,” that refuses to make its peace with the wrong world and become “a piece of politics” and “the prey of power.” Adorno’s thought is far from “solipsistic and reality-distant,” as it is often portrayed, but rather is rooted in an understanding of Marx’s critique of political economy that is superior in many ways to that of his contemporaries.
While so many other Marxists thought there was something ‘progressive’ or even ‘socialist’ about state-organized wage labor, it’s Adorno who recognizes that “exchange is still the key to society” — that the sale of labor-power, that “objective abstraction” in which we exchange “the same for the same and simultaneously the same for the not-same” conceals and reproduces “the entirety of class relations.” “The total movement of society” is “antagonistic from the outset,” and “society remains class struggle” — and for him, this is a wholly negative category, just as it is for workers. Being a productive laborer is not a piece of luck, but a curse, and we appreciate Adorno because he’ll admit what we know from experience."

@thenewsdesk @business-thenewsdesk #Strike #Organize The ultimate weapon is our own #LaborPower #endthefear
If you can strike and unionize, then #GeneralStrike will eventually occur, and if that is met with #Violence from the #state
There is historically only one other option. -
@raymondpert Obama could have nationalized the industry during the bailout of early post “Great Recession.” Now workers have to make the struggle theirs to increase workplace democracy. Could also explore opportunities to diversify production, extending into alternative energy mass transportation manufacturing. #uaw #greennewdeal #labor #laborpower #workplacedemocracy

4/ So if the trad, orthodox, normal #economics view of #masscommunication gets it wrong, what do they produce?
What is the #commodity form of #advertising sponsored comms under #latecapitalism ?
#audiences and readerships
Here the work, the #laborpower of the workers is resold to the #advertisers
This is nominally the "consciousness industry".
Remember: TV stations and walled #platforms on the internet are factories that produce audiences for advertisers
