Oh yes indeed. The capitalists think dialectically too. They must not be underestimated.
The other issue with unemployment is when immigration is used as a tool to create this situation (as it is in the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France and other many other places) workers are encouraged to think that it is the immigrants that have caused their reduction in living or unemployment. They are ripe for picking by the right wing racists. This is how Hitler initially got a base of support amongst some of the German workers. Blame their misery on 'The Jews' In Germany "The Turks", UK 'The Pakis" Australia "The Lebos, wogs, Asians' etc Divide and rule. A divided working class is the key. An educated and organised working class knows who it really is that brings in migrants to lower workers wages and keeps the focus on that. They make allies of the migrants as they are also exploited and in unity they can achieve anything.
