In contrast to the lies propagated by mentally ill 'leftists,' Infrared does not oppose service workers. Rather, it opposes the 'labor strategy' according to which the institutionalization of 'bullshit jobs' can sufficiently represent the aspirations of general labor. | In contrast to the lies propagated by mentally ill 'leftists,' Infrared does not oppose service workers.

Rather than be conducive to a movement of 'general labor,' the institutionalization of bullshit jobs, such as Starbucks baristas, amounts to craft-unionism. | Rather than be conducive to a movement of 'general labor,' the institutionalization of bullshit jobs, such as Starbucks baristas, amounts to craft-unionism. | ||
Infrared also regards it as opportunistic and self-serving that 'leftists' commit to 'organizing' graduate students, baristas, and hollywood writers, not because these groups are the most strategically important for the labor movement, but because they tend to reinforce 'leftist' discursive and cultural bubbles - to the detriment of the aspirations of general labor. | Infrared also regards it as opportunistic and self-serving that 'leftists' commit to 'organizing' graduate students, baristas, and hollywood writers, not because these groups are the most strategically important for the labor movement, but because they tend to reinforce 'leftist' discursive and cultural bubbles - to the detriment of the aspirations of general labor. | ||

While Infrared rejects the view that service workers create capital on the shop floor, or are 'proletarians' in the context of the shop floor, it does not oppose service workers. It rather believes that the interests of general labor and service workers in general must revolve around the destruction of 'bullshit jobs' all together, by politicizing the demand for a shorter work-week, automation of the service industry, and reindustrialization. | While Infrared rejects the view that service workers create capital on the shop floor, or are 'proletarians' in the context of the shop floor, it does not oppose service workers.

Infrared does not view this as hostility to those struggling to make a living working in the service industry. It rather regards the destruction of the service industry itself to be in the interests of both service workers and ''general labor'' as a whole. | Infrared does not view this as hostility to those struggling to make a living working in the service industry.

Infrared likewise does not view the 'organizing' of prostitutes to be in the interests of the majority of the victims of the sex trade. It rather regards the wholesale abolition of the sex industry as in the best interests of its victims. | ||
