It is more fundamental, Mark. But how do you propose we "reconstruct" the movement? I've heard that tune played and replayed at every gathering of the Marxist left I've attended over the past half century with none of the competing ideas on offer having been tested or, if they were tested, having failed to gain any traction. The "fundamental problem" is that the large pro-union sector of the working class and its allies believe they have a better chance of reforming the system to advance their interests than of overthrowing it. So long as that consciousness persists, they will be, as you put it, "at the mercy of the boss class and its politicians."
