The riot occurred at a clothing manufacturing and seafood processing factory
That…is an interesting combination

Now can someone explain to me why Amazon boxes sometimes smell like ass, just actual ass, why?
My boss ordered an anti-fatigue mat from Amazon recently and entirety of the inside of that package smelled like a fish market.
an anti-fatigue mat
What is that because I am fatigued as fuck. I really need one. I’m OK with it smelling like fish.
it is a cushioned mat that is supposed to make your feet or legs not hurt from standing in one spot. I’m not sure how well they actually work but I’ve got one infront of the sink for when I’m doing dishes.
The connection is that they both require workers, but don’t want to pay them
When North Koreans unionize, they don’t fuck around.
I read this somewhere else on Lemmy recently (sorry for comment steal):
American companies that are trying to dismantle unions need to understand that unions were a compromise to protect the companies. Because this is the alternative.
This issue extends to politicians as well. If you replace “Ancien Régime” with “Oligarchy-flavored Republic” it’s almost like we’re living the beginning script of the French Revolution here in America. That should induce quite the pandemic of sweaty palms in D.C. If that Oaf gets reelected, we’re gonna have a Louis XVI on our hands… and we all know how that went down…
There’s a quote I can’t seem to find about unions being the compromise because the alternative is showing up at the factory owner’s house.
The Battle of the Overpass wasn’t that long ago.
Found the one I was thinking of:
Someone should probably tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative we worked out a long time ago to breaking down the factory owner’s front door and beating him to death in front of his family? I feel like they forgot.
It was on Twitter, no idea the origin.
The great part about history is sometimes there’s no need to find a quote when there’s tons of evidence! Here’s a few:
France, George Besse killed in 85’ due to his “revolutionary” turnaround of a company that included mass layoffs.
United States Labor Wars which spanned a century of bloodshed and violence. The Labor Wars included the Battle of Blair Mountain where the largest private army in US history was formed and approximately one million rounds were fired.
There’s a reason your history classes were boring, there’s a reason they opt for American propaganda instead of facts, and there is a reason companies are shitting themselves over union talks. Both the best and worst part about being a history buff is knowing the facts they don’t want you to hear. Be a History Buff with me Limmings! We never meet up, there are no dues, you have no deadlines or tests, and you get to earn dark secrets you can use to torture your friends and family with. It’s great!
It’s not a monarchy. It’s a regime with a dictator. Kim Jong un isn’t their king. Just a dictator.
can we do that too
You’re a literal slave? You are not paid for the work you do? You work sleep work and nothing else? You are physically and mentally mistreated at work? Does your work make you suicidal? Are you unable to switch to a different job? Do you live under a dictatorial regime? Will you be shot and killed if you try to escape?
Yeah, I doubt you can honestly say yes to even a single one of those questions. Some of today’s work environments have issues, with a lot of them caused by companies, but a lot of them also caused by the likes of you who do want the perks and the money, but who just flat out refuse to do anything at all beyond complaining and talking about murdering those that did work hard.
I’ve been a low level employee, I’ve been dirt poor, I worked myself up over the years. I’ve had loads of shitty bosses, I’ve been (technically still am) a company owner, now I’m a C level director. I work hard, work responsibly, and try to do the best for all employees in my teams. Should I be murdered too?
With people like you it’s not the company that is a problem, you are the problem. Fix your own life before you start threatening those that you don’t like
This guy is so staunch in his toxic capitalism at the cost of everything that he didn’t even stop to consider that this may be a joke.
Because it’s not a joke to Phoenixz. He’s just got the boot so far down his throat there’s no alternative. Reading his comment, it sounds like one of those people who owns a job not a business, and/or one of those people who thinks he’s now in the 1%s good graces now that he makes $100k/yr.
Somebody makes a valid argument and well, since we don’t know how to respond, we’ll just call it toxic capitalism.
Capitalism has issues, some severe, that can and must be fixed. Fee people will disagree there. You, however, are the type that actually believes that Communism is great and will solve all of our problems. Writing, probably, from your phone without realizing that that same phone is in your hands because of capitalism (ands butt loads of science, also supported by capitalism), just like the pants on your butt and the food in your belly and the medicine that has or will save your life.
You want capitalism to support a strong social system that gives you all the perks like free healthcare, free education, maybe even universal income.
Nobody gets paid for the work they do under capitalism. The proletariat gets his value stolen, the Cs and owners get paid for work they didn’t do.
So you’ve never received a salary, then? You always worked for free? Because if so, I think there in lies the problem. Go look for a job that is paid, and you’ll no longer be a slave. Problem solved. Next!
I have been in a position in the past to answer yes to more than one of those questions, many of the people I used to work with still can.
So you’re living in a dictatorship, I presume? Because you don’t find any of that crap in any western (ie, capitalist, ooohhh!) country.
There are different kinds of slavery. A wage slave is no different than a chattel slave in many ways, but of course very different in others.
And you are quite literally making shit up and call it an argument. Wage slave? really?
You are arguing that you kust want to sit and get shit for free? Is that it? Or are you one of those delusional ones that wants to make their own food on their own garden, and somehow believe that that will magically work, even though it obviously can’t?
Maybe learn a little before you start talking about things you don’t understand? You’re literally parrotting nonsense statements that sound cool but mean nothing.
lemmygrad in shambles.
lemmygrad mod if they were chinese union buster in this situation: YOU’RE BREAKING LEFTIST UNITY
I don’t think they are federated? Neither is the other big community whatever it’s called.
They should consider Communism.
What do you mean? Communist podcasts I listened to consider them Communist, Internet search says the BBC says they are Communist.
Edit: you all like to downvote instead of having a conversation. Everybody hasn’t studied every subject, try sharing a little of what you know instead of discouraging discussion
Theyre a classless society with no currency?
You sure they arent a capitalist dictatorship disguised as Communist?
It’s rather anti communist to be ruled by a dictator, and certainly a hereditary one. That’s as close as you get to monarchy, which is the antithesis of communism.
The irony is that the people are good that they live in an communist utopia, and while everyone shares the same circumstances that can hold. It’s only when living abroad when they see they are being exploited, like the rioters in this case.
It’s okay to be downvoted. That just means you’re the proxy for which people question what should be questioned (even if the informed answers are already very clear), that you’ve touched on impactful and deep subject matter. Don’t be sad about a meaningless red number.
