America is a capitalist hellscape, but so is China.

Unions and strikes in-practice are banned.

They seem kinda equivalent on workers rights, to me.

    Unions and strikes were illegal in America, until our grandfathers and great grandfathers fought in the streets with company and government goons, cracking skulls and getting their own cracked, in order to force those rights to happen.

    Not one single worker's right that we enjoy today was given to us. We TOOK it through violence, and forcing the government and corporations to FEAR us in an existential manner. They came to understand that if they did not give in, we would literally DESTROY their corporations, and then them. And it worked.

    They no longer fear us. We need to change that.
