Comment on Left Wing Rage # Right Wing Rage
quill7513@anarchist.nexus 20 hours agoyour mistake is treating two right wing parties as if either of them is representative of the left, or like the UMWA, USW, UAW, and IWW that brought us weekends were strictly represented in the 1920s and 30s by the democrats or republicans. 10,000 miners don’t march up a mountain with rifles in hand because their needs are represented on a ballot. They got their weekends by demonstrating that could shut down industry if they weren’t listened to. and do you know what all those unions have in common? you have to denounce the Klan to join.
so get the fuck out of the bullshit left vs right fake binary your high school civics teacher taught you and go learn some real labor history

This has nothing to do what I was saying. At no point did I bring up labor laws or unions. So you can kindly get the fuck out as you bring nothing to the table of this discussion.

the meme at the top of this is about labor laws and unions. you are responding to it already being brought up. maybe if you learn about the context you live in you’ll learn to see past “the republicans were abolitionists in the 1860s” because they sure as shit weren’t ever since the 1920s, and DEFINITELY weren’t after the ideological flip of the democrats abandoning the southern strategy and the republicans adopting it.

Unions, unions suck. I was a teamster and in the IBEW it rewards the losers. Every steward I had was a lame ass failed upward that had no interest for helping us. Walked away and never looked back, unions are bullshit entities to help their leadership keep living lavish lifestyles on the back of the working man.
Sound familiar? Why add another layer?
