Abstract

Hello – I want to argue today that much of what you have been taught, and much of what you have read under the heading of Labour History is either wrong, or at the very least is very misleading, and that the decline of the organised labour movement is largely because that movement is not in touch with the actual, the complete history, of ordinary working people. Please note that I am not saying that what you have personally experienced is wrong.
