[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 106 points 1 year ago (5 children) Quick reminder that there were other things going on in the 20s and 30s. You know, the height of socialism in the West, a strong labor movement willing to burn down factories, stuff like that. The New Deal didn't come because leftists played nice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago The coal wars threatening to kick off a second civil war, y'know small things. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago Blue Morpho apparently never learned about the Battle of Blair Mountain or the Railway Strikes. permalink fedilink source parent [–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) So there ARE conditions by which reform can occur, neat. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 1 year ago Yes, but you have to be willing to crack bourgeoisie skulls. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Oneshot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago A socialist movement independent from either of the major parties too! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Yppm@lemy.lol 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I feel like Western labour just doesn't have any leverage anymore. The rich simply do not need us. They have outsourced enough labour that they really don't care if we strike en masse. Like, shut down which factories? They're all overseas. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago That's what they want you to think. Their own lives depend on Western labor. That's who runs the ports, the railways, the warehouses, etc. Also a lot of high-tech stuff is still in the West. permalink fedilink source parent
