(Not in the USA but in Bulgaria)
Let's start by saying that I work in customer support for a company that employs us full time but then subcontract us to other companies.
In my case I'm a contractor for one of the GAFAM companies (I don't think I can say exactly what product for legal reasons) and in our project they just announced to some people (and will inform the rest of them in the next few days) that a lot of workers will be fired as they are introducing more AI support (which is obviously worse for the customer, i've seen the tests they are doing) starting from next month.
I'm not sure this is enough time to fight to create a union especially considering how past fights to unionize as contractors for this company went (We would likely loose some other clients as well with the protests and unionization)
My job is very likely not at risk right now but obviously there will be no more promotions and probably no pay raise as they will just say they can't due to AI competition or something.
Also a lot of my collogues will be fired.
Probably if everyone in my project that knows about this things doesn't get involved somehow nothing will happen since for now it's just our part of this company project even though very clearly it's going to be all of them at some point.
What should I do to help my fellow workers ?
Would it actually be possible to unionize when only some projects are currently affected ?
Or should I just try to raise class awareness as much as possible to make the people that will remain more active about their condition in the future ?
Your conflation of fascist capitalism with communist governance reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of both systems.
Fascism emerges as capitalism’s most violent and repressive form, which is needed in a country where there is an opposition between different classes of people, when bourgeois power has to preserve and stabilize it's rule over the people.
In a capitalist state, the police is a repressive apparatus, ICE raids and deportations under Trump terrorize migrant workers, creating a climate of fear that discourage labor organizing and reduces to zero the migrant's ability to fight against wage theft and unsafe conditions when they are already the most exploited. Also by giving power to white supremacist groups the state fragments class solidarity and such a divided people can't possibly create any strong opposition to the government.
Communism, by contrast, seeks to abolish classes entirely. The Berlin Wall and the GDR’s policies cannot be equated to capitalist authoritarianism without reckoning with the material conditions that necessitated them, which was not that of a class trying to force another into submission, but that of trying to resist against western sabotage.
As you can find in this article by William Blum, the CIA and NATO actively destabilized East Germany for decades by poisoning food supplies, bombing infrastructure, and recruiting skilled workers educated at socialist expense. These acts of economic warfare forced the GDR to defend its sovereignty. These acts of economic warfare, forced the GDR's government to increase it's border security. The wall was a defensive measure that even stabilized the Cold War preventing a hot war between the two Germanies. it likely helped prevent a nuclear conflict.
Meanwhile, the claim that socialist states resemble fascist dictatorships ignores historical reality. East Germany dismantled Nazism in it's borders, while the FRG recycled Hitler’s bureaucrats and generals. You can find more about this in the book "Stasi State or Socialist Paradise?: The German Democratic Republic and What Became of It", written after the reunification by someone who lived in East Germany.
Socialist states like East Germany have historically restrict movement only insofar as imperialism really threatens their existence, not the vague “cultural” excuses Republicans use for stuff like the one OP posted about.
