They shot at people trying to unionize, and if it wasn't for Marxism they would have succeeded. Show a little respect for the people who literally risked death to ensure we wouldn't all be enslaved in company towns.
Nobody remembers why they have the weekend or the forty hour work week, because we’ve been memory-holed thanks to two red scares and a cold war 😔
