The same old usual suspects have been pulling the strings for over a century.
Wall Street bankers and the biggest capitalist houses didn't just watch the Bolshevik Revolution — they financed Lenin and Trotsky, funneled millions through the Federal Reserve and House of Morgan, and then happily profited from the Soviet system for decades.
No interest in the planet.
No interest in humanity.
No interest in actual democracy.
Their only god has always been money — and they'll bankroll revolutionaries, dictators, or "people's uprisings" whenever it pads their returns.
History isn't written by the victors. It's written by those who control the ledger.

“the bigger issue that councilors are ignoring is that drivers took the work knowing they would not be employees. The biggest benefit of the gig economy is the flexibility people gain.”

In a world filled with boardrooms, how are school shootings even a thing?

The greedy suits at SPC made one fatal choice that destroyed Victoria’s iconic fruit cannery and thousands of jobs.
But the LNP government under Prime Minister Tony Abbott rejected SPC’s $25 million request to modernise and save local jobs — calling it “corporate welfare.”
Yet they happily handed $16 million to Cadbury, a foreign-owned multinational.
Classic LNP hypocrisy: no support for Australian workers and food sovereignty, but plenty of taxpayer cash for overseas bosses when it suits them.
We need public ownership of strategic industries, not this selective corporate welfare that guts manufacturing while workers pay the price.

Another great labor book event happening this month…

Book Launch: Unions of Our Own
Author Daniel Gross in conversation with labor journalist and scholar Michelle Chen
The veteran organizer Daniel Gross unveils a framework and philosophy to win at work and in the world by bringing the biggest questions of unionism where they belong: to coworkers on the job.
Date and Location:

CUNY School of Law
Auditorium
2 Court Square
Long Island City, Queens 11101
Tuesday, April 28 at 6:00PM - 7:30pm

Our workplaces urgently need to get better—and our world does too—but change can feel daunting or even impossible. In Unions of Our Own, Daniel Gross, co-founder of the IWW Starbucks Workers Union and Brandworkers as well as the co-author of the beloved Labor Law for the Rank & Filer provides a radically new, step-by-step framework for workers who want to dramatically improve their jobs—and dream of bigger changes too. 
The book reveals and puts into workers’ hands the eight fundamental building blocks of a union to discuss, design, and test in struggle. Through analysis, vivid history, Gross’s personal stories from campaigns, proven tools, and ample real-world examples, Unions of Our Own offers a practical, accessible, and empowering philosophy on how to design your own union that wins—all while honoring your vision and values.
Daniel will be in conversation with labor journalist and professor Michelle Chen.

Daniel is the co-author with Staughton Lynd of Labor Law for the Rank & Filer: Building Solidarity While Staying Clear of the Law, a classic passed around by autonomy minded workers generation after generation, as well as of the graphic booklet Solidarity Unionism at Starbucks with Lynd and cartoonist Tom Keough. He has served on the board of the National Lawyers Guild, the Food Chain Workers Alliance, and was active with the Immigrant Worker Justice Working Group of Occupy Wall Street.

“For decades now, Americans have been told that we should trust the system, but our children are sicker, chronic disease is exploding, and the answers that we’ve been given aren’t working,” Kennedy says in the teaser video. “Many of us have come to the conclusion that government actually lies to us.”

The video strikes an incredibly dark and conspiratorial tone, more in line with outsiders who complain about the system than someone now deeply entrenched with it. The whole thing comes off as very weird, given the fact that Kennedy isn’t resigning his position as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. He’s just adding “podcaster” to his list of duties.
