Abstract
The earlier contributions to this collection might be summarized as warning us that that things are going to get a lot worse before they get… worse. 2 This is not just a matter of the sustained attacks on the labour movement but as much a reflection of the crisis within labour.For some three decades now, labour has been stumbling on, unable to organizationally or ideologically rebut the attacks summarized as 'neoliberalism'.Though the Great Financial Crisis held out the promise of finally exposing the right and its supporters and potentially opening the door to a union offensive and possible revival, the attacks on labour in actuality intensified and labour continues to have no coherent counter-response.As a prelude to directly addressing that impasse in labour, it is useful to begin with something that Greg Albo (2012) posed in his presentation to the conference forerunner to this collection: What is the larger historical significance of this particular crisis?Though cyclical downturns are common in capitalism, structural crises are of relatively rare occurrence, generally separated by a generation or so (30 years or more).3 Such crises reflect social and institutional barriers that block capitalism's normal continuation, and the question for capital and its governments then becomes what, if anything, might take capitalism to a new stage that allows for the resumption of its drive.For example, the outcome of the crisis that began at the end of the 1960s and ran through the 1 Sam Gindin retired from the Canadian Auto Workers' union in 2000 after 27 years on staff, the last 16 as assistant to the President.From 2001 through 2011 he was the Visiting Packer Chair in Social Justice at York University, Toronto. 2 See also the presentations from the conference: The Global Economic Crisis and Canadian Austerity: Perception Versus Reality available at http://www.alternateroutes.ca/index.php/ar/pages/view/Video 3 It is common to identify three structural crises in capitalism before the latest one: the first occurring in the last quarter of the 19 th century, the second introduced by the 1929 stock market crash and lasting through the 1930s, the third breaking out in the late 1960s and running through the 1970s.See Panitch and Gindin, 2011.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
