      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.

        There is no labor movement in America, because America it’s the home of the real owners of the world, America it’s the first nation following the agenda and the agenda it’s making the living of the 99% a competition for social status so making everyone hate each other, divide and conquer. American politics it’s just a big staged mimic, at the end of the day both parties work for the same owners so they all will follow the orders it doesn’t matter if they are democrats or republicans, money is money.

          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.
