Notable incidents include the
**1925 Marusia massacrein Chile (>500 dead), recent killings of trade unionists in Colombia, South Africa, and Cameroon, and fatalities during protests in Iraq and Mexico.
Not in Mexico, but similar incidents led to the labor movement in the United States. But it doesn’t matter where on earth you are. If the bourgeoisie thinks you’re a threat, they’ll handle you similarly.
I am a threat. My wife knows I’d be the first in line to join any resistance if shit hits the fan. I just don’t go spreading it on places where I can be identified.
Sure you might be able to identify who I am by going through my history, but who the fuck knows if I’m telling the truth?
I think there needs to be a bit of tit for tat, when the strike is over. The people who own the company need to come down and get beaten and a shot just in the leg like employees were to remind them not to do this again.

Okay, so now they have no reason to be nonviolent.
Good luck with that, capitalist pigs.

Unions are the compromise.
If the compromise gets abolished by the corporate overlords, give them what they deserve.

Sadly we’ve seen it before. And we’ll see it again. Just little bits of history repeating.
Thanks for reviving that gem, but do you also know of other instances where striking workers were shot in response?
There’s many instances recorded here: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_worker_deaths_in_Unite…
International Trade Union

I need to go hug my kids.
