 fought with cops on the streets to have their unions upheld. But unions got comfortable after capitalists gave them a little bit here and there in the form of bargaining rights, healthcare and some welfare after the Second World War. The unions became satisfied, and ended up losing many of the arts of organizing and mobilizing—often, in fact, forgetting to organize and mobilize at all. What’s more, those benefits that workers won were often produced on the backs of Indigenous people and people of other countries, who faced imperialist exploitation. Meanwhile, the capitalist system itself keeps suffering deep crises, where capitalists can’t keep up their profits, so they look for new ways to make profits.

So then beginning with crises in the 1970s, and with the successes of anti-imperialist movements in much of the Third World, the capitalists said it’s time to cut back and to get rid of these welfare initiatives to maintain general profits. We see the effects of this trend now, with a gutted economy that isn’t giving people jobs it once used to. The problem here is that capitalists, bosses, try to make more profits. Workers try to make more wages and to get a “social wage” like healthcare and education. Bosses get profits because they own the capital, which they own because previous generations of workers produced it for them. This is class struggle. Unless workers understand that they are engaged in a continuous class struggle—where there can be temporary truces, but no permanent settlements—they’re not going to be able to move on to better forms of society. Capitalists will always strike back, because they own the productive powers of society—everything we depend on.

A permanent settlement would mean getting rid of the bosses, and with them, to get rid of a system built on profits and that’s so prone to crises because it doesn’t care for the needs of all humans. We have to get rid of a system of economic organization that relies on imperialism and on the marginalization of racialized people and women, and that teaches us to compete with and hate each other rather than cooperating and loving each other. So how do we do that?

There are no easy solutions, but I imagine that it has a lot to do with building people’s power to challenge colonialism and imperialism, capitalism and patriarchy. Without the people’s power we’re not going to be able to go and make a better society. There are two

 So then beginning with crises in the 1970s, and with the successes of anti - imperialistic drift in much of the Third World, the capitalists say it ’s meter to cut back and to get rid of these welfare initiatives to keep general profits. We see the effects of this drift now, with a gutted economy that is n’t giving people jobs it once used to. The problem here is that capitalist, bosses, try to make more profits. worker try to reach more wages and to get a “ social wage ” like healthcare and education.

Unless workers sympathize that they are engaged in a continuous class struggle — where there can be temporary truces, but no permanent colony — they’re not going to be able to travel on to better class of society. capitalist will always strike back, because they own the productive powers of society — everything we count on. 

 A permanent settlement would mean getting rid of the boss, and with them, to get rid of a system built on profits and that ’s so prone to crises because it does n’t wish for the needs of all humans.
