It seems to me that the bourgeoisie is dismantling the class-collaborationist labor-aristocratic unions of the 20th century. Now that the world wars and the cold war are won, and the declining rate of profit is making bribery of the labor aristocracy more difficult, the ruling class is no longer willing to work with these unions.

In the short term this will be painful. But in the long term it will free workers from the need for bourgeois, bureaucratic permission for strikes and organizing. Imagine labor organizing on an encrypted chat with your pseudonym only known to a few workers in your web of trust. You’d be able to organize a strike before management could figure out who you were.

Shit, so… I guess with the way this country is going the PRO Act is also not going to be a thing…
