instead of blood my heart pumps dialectical materialism, sorry buddy

Death to America

I don't know how radical you are, or how radical I am. I am certainly not radical enough. One can never be radical enough; that is, one must always try to be as radical as reality itself

second coming of FDR even

First they came for the socialists, and I laughed because those fuckers voted for Jill Stein

If some people want to vote for Trump, I shouldn't have labour rights under Trump.

Cop unions are "fake" because cops are class traitors. My opinion anyway. But yes no one considers their endorsement because obviously they always support the most right wing candidate, usually the republican... although now days they're literally both full pro-cop parties

And i assume the person isn't talking about the union as an entity or its leadership but rather the unionized workers who belong to the union. Many voted for Trump. Not that surprising considering Biden offered very little to them and fully failed to communicate what he did offer (and Harris too later on). When the entire election is social issues vs social issues and class issues are effectively off the table (in any meaningful way) then people who don't pay much attention of course vote for the hog taking a better social issues story for them to believe in.

Literally the meme of Eric shooting Hannibal then asking "Why would Donald Trump do this?" Eric is the DNC/libs and Hannibal is "the working class" which includes people who actually work for a living. They blame Trump for their own failure to reject neoliberal capitalism that has been failing 90% of the population for 40-50 years.

I know Teamsters didn’t endorse, but that’s not the same as supporting Trump.

What do you mean? Of course not endorsing is the same as supporting Trump. Also not voting is supporting Trump. Not giving money to Democrats is supporting Trump. Not having enough money to give enough of it to the right Democrats is supporting Trump.

Okay so the neoliberal union machine run by the US government that represents 10% of workers will be disbanded, and then workers will have to break the law to get what they want? This is bad because we respect the law and think that unions should be yoked by the US government? This is bad because the workers with the largest concessions afforded by the US government will lose those concessions and no longer have an economic incentive to maintain the status quo? Do we not like wildcat strikes? What is your critique here?

Things are accelerating, contradictions are sharpening, the economy is crumbling and fascism is on the rise. Are we not allowed to have an honest analysis of the situation? Is that accelerationism? The treat factory is ending, inshallah, and the treat addled mind along with it. When people awaken from this haze and realize they are gonna have to break the law to survive, maybe they will actually join with the rest of us who have been living this way the whole time. Maybe instead of wishing to protect the institutional systems designed to destroy the labor movement, we should celebrate their downfall and the downfall of all of the institutions that keep the neoliberal fantasy alive. We are entering the best period for revolutionary organizing since the 60's and, as always, it is because the conditions have gotten bad enough that people will do something that would have been previously too uncomfortable. I did not organize for this to happen, nothing I did or thought accelerated this situation into being, but this has obviously been where we are going for a long time and now we are here.

Unions and all the money and infrastructure don’t “cease to exist,” if nlrb goes away. Everything becoming a wildcat strike was how it was when American labor power was greatest

Labor's Untold Story does a decent job covering it and the later Taft-Hartley act within the scope of the US labor movement

It's controlled in the sense that Democrats tout themselves as being against ruling class interests in various ways but then, of course, do not actually taje action to do so once elected. A perfect example is Obamacare. Obama ran on a single-payer healthcare promise but did the Dem thing of saying it required winning Congress as well (they assume they won't get the votes and will therefore have that excuse). Only, they did win Congress and with enough votes to shove the whole thing through withiut changing the precious Senate rules, so they had no excuse whatsoever. So what did they do? They found a whipping boy in Joe Lieberman, pretended discipline was impossible, and gladly allowed the ACA to become a slightly subsidized insurance mandate, guaranteeing subscribers for private insurance.
