Abstract
Militant Minority tells the compelling story of British Columbia workers who sustained a left tradition during the bleakest days of the Cold War.Through their continuing activism on issues from the politics of timber licences to global questions of war and peace, these workers bridged the transition from an Old to a New Left.In the late 1950s, half of BC's workers belonged to unions, but the promise of postwar collective bargaining quickly turned into disillusionment as inflation rose and automation steadily displaced workers.A new and increasingly rebellious working class emerged, made more diverse by the growing participation of woman and urban workers from the burgeoning public sector.This New Left, influenced by traditional forms of labour militancy, took part in strikes, occupations, and picketing, visibly challenging the socio-economic status quo and contributing to a change in government, the election of the newly formed New Democratic Party in 1972.Grounded in archival research and oral history, Militant Minority provides a valuable case study of one of the most organized and independent working classes in North America during a period of ideological tension and unprecedented material advance.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
