I am learning (still learning though) not to give too much weight to reaction happening - it should be expected otherwise there is no fight to begin with, no oppression or subjugation to dismantle.

I am really cautious about these wins, not because I disagree with them, but what concession has been allowed by the bourgoisie system to allow it to happen - if it is soley a response due to militant solidarity then it is less concerning but if the organising is not as strong we have to wonder how it was won in the first place.

don’t really think politics ever happens “by accident” like that but whatever)

I agree - I see bourgoisie historians arguing against historical materialism as a means of histriography by claiming the serendipity and randomness of history supercedes all else; pretty much conceding that the way fhey analyse history is not scientific.

It’s like looking at the particles in brownian motion and concluding that since individual particle movements are “random” then no diffusion occurs (and it obviously does) ie a direction of events taking place overall.
