redleader posted:but then why bother with old age care? letting them rot and die would be consistent with those values There's already funds and people dedicated to caring for the prisoners, so it's pretty simple. Releasing them, sending them off to another prison, or sending them back to their countries is a lot of work that requires some kind of political will behind it. It's a problem that the rest of the prison system has as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXnQz2CqzYg It's just part of how all those inmates are human beings who grow old and feeble like anyone else.

The fact that a majority of working americans see paying union dues as worse than government taxes isn't the company's fault.

Yeah I'm sure it isnt the fault of the companies spending millions on buying politicians and anti-union propaganda. Its the unions fault for not winning the fight.

And the the unions fought back against propaganda by... *checks notes* Electing organized crime goons like jimmy hoffa to leadership positions, looting the pension funds, failing to bridge the gap between white and blue collar orgs, and overseeing the largest drop in union enrollment ever.

MRC48B posted:All of the skilled trade unions, yes. This is again such a pro-corporate version of history. Weird how you’re not mentioning how management would pay the mafia to control the union and use violence to take over leadership. You’re basically smugly saying that “well maybe if the striking workers wanted to write history they shouldn’t have been gun down on strike.”

It's been the project capital to destroy unions all along, no poo poo, but they built all their power in the era when the state would call in the national guard to straight up machinegun strikers and fell apart shortly after the big unions started becoming recognized as part of the political establishment, hard to say it's all cause management started pushing back and they couldn't take it.

The unions put forth no enduring counter-message. What i am smugly saying is that the workers should have kept striking, instead of rolling over. Their parents didn't in the 30s. I guess because they didn't have as much to lose.

Trabisnikof posted:Your history of the labor movement is incredibly flawed. Undoubtedly. history is written by the victors. And the unions are going to continue to lose unless they unfuck the things i listed, and more. I am not anti-union, i want unions to be better, because nothing else on this planet is going to help working people. And step one is unions looking at their own faults and sucking less. And stop whinging about the big meanie monopoly men.

MRC48B posted:Undoubtedly. history is written by the victors. If you want unions to succeed then taking the time to have a better understanding of why they failed will be more useful than accepting the anti-union conclusion of "dumb lazy unions didnt try hard enough." The systemic factors facing unions show why the simplistic "just stay on strike longer jeez" didn't work and wouldn't work still.
