From time to time, in the Communist Left, but more often in radical reformist circles, there appear criticisms against our – supposed – position on intervention in “economic” struggles; that is to say the struggles for the defence of daily working conditions (wages, hours, work rhythms and workloads, against sackings, etc.). These criticisms are quite unfounded, because they ignore or, if they are acting in good faith, mistakenly interpret what we have always said on this question.
