I would personally be for what we had when I grew up
Those conditions were as class-riven and driven as ours are today. Union leadership dutifully aligned itself with the bourgeoisie and betrayed the working class. How Trotsky merits a pick axe in the ear for saying this eludes me. But that's immaterial. We are at a later stage of capitalist/imperial development. The past cannot be recreated, and you cannot return to it. You must also outline the class basis and nature of this catastrophe. Otherwise 'catastrophe' comes to mean the 'catastrophe' of partisanship, and/or the 'catastrophe' of my unresolved material interests, etc.
