When the workers lost this we lost the class war
Sometimes things have to get real bad before people are willing to step up. That doesn't mean that day isn't coming, it just means it isn't today. It took 100 years of wildcat strikes, violence, vandalism, and governments mass-murdering their own people in the 19th century before the wins of the 20th were finally realized. Organize. Organize and build networks of people who can move goods and people. An army is like a knife, the cutting edge may be where the drama happens, but if there isn't a whole lot of metal supporting that edge, it's just a fragile wire.
Whether the class war is lost has yet to be determined.
It's lost every single day until it's won. This why a general strike is illegal.
I was once in an interview where they said "the union and the management get along great" and in my head I thought "ah, so there's not really a union"
~~21^st^ century~~ unions
*business unions
The labor movement is old, and old movements are extremely complex. Business unions took hold during the second red scare and have dominated for decades. They act like a service to workers and don't recognize the class war.
Class Struggle unions are still extremely militant. You want to know why SpaceX and Trader Joe's are trying to ban the nlrb? Because Class Struggle Unionism is taking over again.
