    Currently reading “Labor’s Giant Step Forward”, its a documentation of the biggest labor movement in US history, and how FDR actually betrayed in with an extremly watered down New Deal to curb the actual demands of the workers at the time.

    But what I’ve been super impressed reading, is the tactics and resolve of these workers in fighting back against state violence, while minimizing casualties to an extremely effective extent. For example, there was a time where after an extended tense period of police standing opposite a picket line and trying to break them up the cops drew their weapons but the strikers were ready for it, and had a particular person they knew had balls of steel drive a truck filled with strikers right into the formation of cops and the strikers jumped out the engage the cops hand to hand, and in doing so, got themselves intermixed with the police so that they could not fire their guns without shooting each other, and deaths were prevented. There was still violence, but care was taken to directly minimize it.

    The only divide is between capitalists (those that make money by owning equipment others work on) or workers (those that work directly for their living). Why should workers be held to a goody two shoes standard when those brainwashed into fighting against their own allies do things like drive cars into protestors or do lynchings? People’s cars getting damaged is way less important than the extra-judicial kidnappings and literal genocide going on.

    Also as a side note, private property is property held by buisnesses in order to make money of of them, you’re reffering to personal property, which is what people own for their own use as tools. Thats the distinction when people speak about abolishing private property, it doesn’t mean you can’t own your own house, it means you can’t horde houses to profit from people’s living situations.
