POLAND 1980–82: Class Struggle & The Crisis of Capital by Henri Simon

A critical analysis of Poland’s Solidarity as an apparatus which tried to make itself a union in the Eastern sector of capital. Simon sees Solidarity as a failed attempt of Eastern capital to reform itself which came into conflict with its rank and file when the latter began to move beyond organizational discipline and wage labor. In order to function as a union, Solidarity had to recognize the duality of capital and labor, but its inability to enforce this on a rebellious working class rendered it ineffective and the state moved in to crush what the fledgling organization could not control.
