Issue 23:
Infrastructure: Fault Line and Frontlines
March 14, 2025
In this issue, we hear from miners, water workers, shipbuilders, tube drivers, energy workers, construction workers and militants who have supported workers’ inquiries in supermarkets. They work in the infrastructure of society, doing the jobs that enable everyone else to do their jobs. The systems that industries and state services rely on (energy, water, transport, communication, and so on) could be points of incredible leverage for our class.
We want to understand the strain these deep systems are under from the workers’ point of view. We also want to think about how we might reorganise these systems under workers’ control. This is an essential task for any serious revolutionary politics. It means starting from the current state of infrastructure. Is it as bad as it looks, and what are we missing about the process? How can infrastructure workers organise, and what might come next? In this issue, we learn from the privileged insights of the workers who themselves maintain the nuts and bolts of infrastructure under modern capitalism.
