I wonder how useful this kind of approach would be.

I’m reminded of a podcast recently where someone described that some of their colleagues in their day job (a very union heavy job) got pissed off at some cops at a petrol station, basically saying “ay, why are you protecting the Tesla dealerships, you’re union too — you’re meant to be on our side”. The podcast guy said that although he really wanted to say to his colleagues something like “just because they’re union doesn’t mean they’re on our side. Cops only exist to protect the interests of capital”, he felt it was more productive to stoke the existing anger of his working class colleagues by leaning into their concerns
