i agree with everything you've written here. we don't need a new term. i propose eliminating 'unskilled labour' from our collective vocabulary, because some people who aren't completely far gone would stand to benefit from recognising this term as you put it: a slogan. i'm not saying i expect a huge amount of effort on this front. no campaigns, just awareness.

i don't disagree with what you've written here; i'm disagreeing with your point in the GP, that:

The distinction is necessary.

it's a concept that i believe is only useful to the managerial class (and other hierarchists). it isn't constructive in labour organising.
