The capitalist-wage slave relationship structurally is an antagonistic one. A worker cooperative isn’t structurally antagonistic, nor is a democratic socialist state. Whether a form of organizing is hostile depends on the structure/power dynamics of its relationships.

For tactical reasons, we don’t always act belligerently toward our employers, but the relationship is still always a belligerent one, structurally.
