CEO whose total compensation dwarfs the median pay for his company's employees by a ratio of 281-to-1 whinges that the United Auto Workers union was really mean to him when they went on strike for better wages.
"The main prop of capitalism are behind you now. They are the police, they are Murdoch's press, they are the City of London. People, we must form a strong Labour movement. If there had been solidarity with the miners during their historic strike, they would have won. The same is true of the teachers' struggle, the Irish struggle, the people at Greenham Common."
Tony Benn speaking to striking newspaper workers in Wapping, #OTD 1986
Capitalism isn't working for us. It perpetuates inequality by concentrating wealth and power in the hands of a few, leading to social divisions. Profit-driven systems exploit the working class, create economic hierarchies, and prioritize private interests over communal well-being. A stateless, classless society where resources are collectively owned and distributed based on need is the cure to capitalism. #anticapitalism#endcapitalism#workersunite
