Over the course of the last few months the keen political observer will have seen a strange new UnderLeft shifting turbulently, leader-free and just fine with that situation. There is in many ways a New Labor movement at last forming, flexible, fast and big enough to finally tackle the gun-and-money bullying that has gone global for well over 2 centuries now.

This new labor movement is not necessarily centered around unions or “workplace gains.” This New Labor movement does not demand just short term localized economic goals.
