Can we get a history of labor struggles thread?
Has there ever been a time where labor was treated with respect by capitalists? As far as I can tell, the history is mostly greedy capitalists forcing and manipulating people to suppress wages and keep themselves powerful.
I nominate the Ludlow massacre for the shittiest event in labor history.

I'll raise you Ludlow with Kronstadt.
As much as I sympathize with labor, it seems like whenever laborers are given too much power, society collapses and all the stability the elites strove to maintain is erased. What's the deal with that? Can we not do that next time?

Labor unions are fine. Tankies aren't.
>>1094211
would you classify those as "labor struggles" though?

There's at least one anti-revisionist maoist tankie here.
