i was riffing on the inefficacy of individual action, not fedposting
Adventurism is ineffectual fedposting. Individual action is the atomic unit of collective action.
no it isn't. you cannot add up individual actions and get a collective action. 10 people doing something each by themselves is fundamentally different than those same people doing it together as a group.
As collectives consist of individuals, so too do collective actions consist of individual actions. The group does the organizing but the members show up.
if you cut it up it stops being a group. the atomic unit of collective action is at least two people, and it's different larger numbers depending on the action. you talking to your boss isn't collective bargaining no matter how many of your coworkers take turns.
once you do it together at the same time it becomes a collective.
Do you share an identical subjectivity with your comrades? No. Each of you participates in mutual action.
