The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle.
Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.
The oligarchs don’t realize the social democracy WAS the compromise. The alternative is general strikes and war in the streets, not “we just get to keep all the money and make you serfs again”
Curtis Marvin, one of the main silicon valley “intellectuals” inspiring Peter Thiel does not seem to understand where the word parliament comes from. He criticizes the royalty of Europe for giving their subjects too much power.
It’s like they think they’re playing a video game.
Any word from O’Brien on the latest events?
Thank you @realDonaldTrump for putting American workers first by nominating Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer for US Labor Secretary. Nearly a year ago, you joined us for a @Teamsters roundtable and pledged to listen to workers and find common ground to protect and respect labor in America. You put words into action. Now let’s grow wages and improve working conditions nationwide. Congratulations to @LChavezDeRemer on your nomination! North America’s strongest union is ready to work with you every step of the way to expand good union jobs and rebuild our nation’s middle class. Let’s get to work! #TeamsterStrong

What an asshole.
Edit: This is from a couple months ago, I’m not trying to make it sound like O’Brien is still licking Trump’s nethers as we speak. Although, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Chavez-DeRemer was the only Republican co-sponsor and one of three congressional Republicans to support the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) strongly opposed by business groups. The act would give workers more advantages when organizing or joining unions and bargaining with employers, also weakening state right-to-work laws. She was supported by Teamsters President Sean O’Brien for the position of Secretary of Labor, who thanked President-elect Trump for the nomination, noting her support of the PRO Act. Her nomination was opposed by some business interest groups.
Could be worse, but I’m still skeptical until proven otherwise.
