    If there’s any hope for a real labor movement in this country, Americans are going to have to stop hating one another in order to rally against their corrupt, incompetent bosses in a united front.

    But I can guarantee the folks posting “WOKECRATS! ROFLMAOLZ!” aren’t going to be shoulder to shoulder with any of their working class brethren on that picket line.

        Yes, yes. “Read Settlers”.

        But the empire is coming home, and the American consumer is being retrofitted into the new subject of proletarianization. Meanwhile, American plutoarchs are looking for a new capital - New Zealand, Singapore, perhaps Dubai - and pulling out of their old North American enclaves. The renewed demand for US industrial labor is creating pressure for a new American labor movement.
