    But thats the thing, are strikes even effective anymore? I haven’t seen one that succeeded in the way that the ones described in the 30s did.

      Yes, workers organizing, forming unions, going on strikes, and making demands are effective. They’re not enough by themselves, but they are effective.

      Taft Hartley did a number on union activity

      Is anything Actually working anymore? It seems like the Capitalist diaspora learned from earlier movements and now they can defeat any protest or direct action or strike easily. Sorry to be doomer here but IDK what we’re supposed to do that isn’t adventure-time
