The whole US economy is based around preventing worker to organize. From over entertainment, ad culture, low wage, low work security, money cult... organizing worker is not even an option, K. Marx is way over his head here

Organizing is definitely an option and is the path to victory, the problem with the US is that it is the Global Hegemon and the most Imperialist country on the planet. Traditionally it bribes its workers into not organizing through higher wages and lower costs, and demonizing immigrants to keep them as a domestic underclass fearful of deportation.

It's not that Marx isn't applicable, it's that Marxism needs to be applied according to each country's unique circumstances.

Moreover, that doesn't change the fact that labor organizing is the most effective means of resistance, and this article is utterly toothless when it comes to actually telling you how to resist, more it just tells you how to be scared.
