> How does one recreate a strong labor movement when the industries that were unionized are structurally hollowed out by no-pay robotic "labor" (which isn't labor in the Marxist sense either)? I'd love to hear a non hand wavy answer (seriously!).

Seems like a labour movement is a means, not an end. So I wouldn't be too sad, if you need other means.

Perhaps the left should pick up Georgism (again)? See http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2015/04/land-val... for an introduction.
