    Remember the good ol’ days when much of labor (well, some of labor anyway) in the US was backed by the Mob? Might it be nice to have them backing up the revitalized unions of today, always ready to break some kneecaps when it’s required of them? Unfortunately, I don’t think they’re anywhere near as powerful as they used to be. Too bad.

      Oh there’s at least going to be an attempt. One of the major project 2025 goals was to basically nullify unions except for police.

        No one’s allowed to have a union… Except our thugs 😉

          And if that doesn’t work, or is crushed, the peaceful options will be limited, unfortunately.

      Amazon closed a bunch of centers in Quebec because people unionized. It’s 100% gotta end in Union busting but you shouldn’t let that stop you. Unions are the start and they’re a great tool to organize and fight back.

    DOGE’s legacy: accelerationist union recruitment. Nothing terrifies oligarchs faster than workers flocking to solidarity while their corporate playpens implode. Amazon’s Quebec tantrum? Pathetic preview of the union-busting extravaganza coming—but let them try.

    Project 2025’s wet dream of cop-exclusive unions just exposed their endgame: a neo-feudal hellscape where only state-sanctioned thugs get collective power.

    General strike? Overdue. But when the boots stamping your neck wear “Made in USA” logos, burn the factory.
