It needs to happen regardless, but no, we are worse off than they were. There are a lot more ways to track people, which is one major negative. Back then there weren't a system designed to prevent and punish striking. Now there is. If it ends up happening at the scale that's needed to make a difference then there will be fights against private militias and the government again.

Fair enough.

There was, we call it Pinkerton, among others. At least now you can organize out in the open.

There's no nonviolent class conflict (which is what this needs to be), but the magnitude of the violence will increase exponentially with time as the fascists consolidate power.

No, you can't. The US is so anti-union that there is a real risk of you getting reported to your boss for mentioning unionizing to your coworkers. They can't openly fire you for trying to unionize, but most of the US is "at will employment," which means that they can fire you at any time and don't need to say why.

This is a real sign
