Just as managers and owners agreed to the compromise of unions in order to prevent the workers from dragging them from their homes and setting the factory on fire with them inside, governments should feel the fear of what happens when you treat people like shit and ignore their complaints.
A lot of people died to get the pittances we got from the ownership class. Decades of
labor: we want to paid in real money, and work less than 12 hours a day 6 days a week
owner: no
labor: then we’re going on strike
owner, to the state: HELP
the state: sends police and troops to do violence to labor
The idea that peacefully asking for stuff on its own is effective is largely ahistorical. A happy myth sold by the people who would be receiving violence.
