May sound like bait but I am actually curious here.

Does seem like all you're doing is helping labor aristocrats get better access to tasty treats.

Capital, the main enemy, is going to squeeze people wherever it can. The squeezing is not performed by people selling their labor in a specific context.

Labor organizing in the imperial core does not necessarily intertwine with a liberatory horizon, but in and of itself it puts pressure on the capitalist and gives gains to the worker. A tool can be used in many ways, and the outcome of the tool depends on how it is used.
