What a fucked up world where we are cheering on China. Fucking trump.
What moral high ground you think you had before?
Red > orange
If they suck at each other, then that's way less bad. Root for simultaneous knockout punches.
They both suck.
The workforce is unionizing even if their union is pretty terrible.
Definitely just a toss up of where this is going.
Which workforce? The Chinese? There's only one union and it's run by the government. Any non-government unions are illegal.
The US is gaining a new interest in unions, but we have our own anti-union laws to deal with. Not as bad China's obviously.
such a socialist country where union protests lead you to being disappeared
Oh sorry, did I say socialist? China lines up better as a fascist economy.
Yeah in a global environment essentially China is the workforce/factory workers of the previous gilded age.
And it's pretty much exactly my point that their union (the government) is finally pushing back against the management while being not exactly kind to their workers.
We are essentially reliving through a new worker rebellion but from the governments of the global south with their own layers of local nuance underneath that.
Weird times.
Maybe 15-20 years ago, but not so much anymore. Cost of labor has been rising in China dramatically to the point that a lot of manufacturing is leaving China.
Anti union in a socialist society...SMH sigh...
We need a vanguard party because the proles are too dumb to save themselves. We'll prove it by banning unions that aren't under our thumb.
