Fascism isn’t a different economic system than capitalism, fascism is capitalism in it’s most brutal and desperate form, fascists want people to think it’s a different system, an alternative, but it’s not it wants to reinforce capitalism and crush opposition by any means necessary. Fascism isn’t liberal but it’s still capitalism

I’m still stuck on the 40hr week. I regularly work 60+

Conservative premiers and the federal Liberals in Canada have ordered strikers back to work twice within the past few months. The federal liberals did it within hours of the strike starting and the conservative premier used a clause in our charter that allows them to override our Charters rights and freedoms in legislation. We are following in the US’ footsteps

Red :

can I ask, does that mean him as a mayor feel like he can't do anything regardless of his position of power? I do understand a general strike would be huge, but shouldn't they been doing something in their position? I'm just thinking out loud

Bryan L. Jones :

Making wildcat strike illegal was a major victory for capitalists in the US.

Malcolm J :

this was huge in my eyes as well no one else thought it was super strange for a mayor to go against the capitalist machine especially in this day and age of keeping the status quo.

Healing Fibro Mutual Aid :

A postal strike in Canada got us pretty amazing maternity leave.

xaz :

Love it. I need to look into whether or not there are any socialist or communist parties here in Virginia that I can support. also probably need to look into whether or not I can actually be registered as more than one party

RyRy🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 :

..., but yet, workers rights in the United States have been severely lacking in many respects since then, in comparison to the rest of the developed world.
