    Democracy @ Work- Labor Unions and Political Power

    Give it a watch. Hopefully it will give you another way of understanding this event.

    The state used bullets (cops with a monopoly on the use of violence to shape societal behavior, elevating the power of the $ over individual voices in politics, etc) to keep the trolly on the tracks. Of course removing a conductor doesn’t stop a trolly in motion. But that’s not what this is about.

    If you want to pretend that this event is about a healthcare CEO and healthcare policy you need to check your benefits to see if it includes vision. This is about trying to wake up the majority of wage slaves that earn for scraps by defending the top. And guess what? The general social reaction is showing that many people feel this way.

    Takes like yours seem designed to get this event out of public consciousness as fast as possible.
