I largely agree with the sentiment, but as the saying goes "someone's gotta do it." And someone is doing it. I was just tossing it out there an active pathway to change for people to consider. Like if you wanna see union power grow and class consciousness spread, you can actually do something about it. It's honestly one of the last vectors of change available to westerners at this point, as sad as that is. We aren't voting in socialism. It seems like we aren't even voting in some liberalized socdem shit (France straight up ignoring the will of the people. Happens all over the place). As industry (probably) is forced to return to the first world, if people unionize these critical sectors and start pushing them towards greater awareness of what the US does, their roles as workers in the world, etc. that is how you get a class conscious, radicalized, organized movement that has power behind it in the form of unionized workers and no longer must beg for scraps from the government but can make demands.

Of course even if all this happens it's decades off in the future. But again, who knows.
