One tells you he’s your enemy the other pretends to be your friend but if you work for a living they are both your enemies
Don’t forget Joe hates Unions too https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-signs-bill-block-us-railroad-strike-2022-12-02/
I was wondering why this was so far away from may first, which is dat of the workers or labor day in most of the world, only to find out that America does it differently.
Grover Cleveland made it an official national holiday in 1894 after the Pullman strikes. He selected the September date to put distance between the socialist May Day protests and the concessions he was making to the Labor movement.
Thanks for the info!
Also lol there can’t even be a hint of communism, can there.
Doing things differently than the rest of the world is an American tradition. See the measurement system and healthcare.
That was a fascinating story.
I get what he’s preaching, but I think the slaves and destitute immigrants have something to say about this.
Fuck them both
obviously, trump is deranged and far worse. But biden is an idiot who has no idea what hes talking about, too. Hes not describing middle class, at all, nor did they build america. It was built off slaves and abusing immigrants.
Yeah, Joe Biden said that. Sure. Okay. 🤤
And both are wrong.
Downvote all you want; middle class isnt a thing, it’s just a way to divide the working class. Working class built the unions
True enough I guess, neither side shows the entire truth, but one has some connection to reality, the other doesn’t.
And even if both were detached from reality, Biden’s message at least sounds nice, Trump’s message is just an incoherent rant
Of course the middle class is a thing, its the petite bourgeoisie and the professional managerial classes. Its not what Biden was using it as, workers who aren’t in poverty, but it absolutely is a thing.
Those are just delusional workers.
You should probably look into some Marxist class analysis if you want to contribute seriously to a discussion like this in left wing circles.
the Petite bourgeoisie are not workers as they own their own means of production (shopkeepers, sole tradesmen) and combine it with their labour to produce value. This is in direct contrast to workers who don’t and only make a living by selling their labour to capitalists who do own the means of production.
The PMC is more contentious, but the managerial aspect puts them in a position of discipling labour which puts their class interests in opposition to workers, at least to some extent.
the Petite bourgeoisie are not workers as they own their own means of production (shopkeepers, sole tradesmen) and combine it **with their labour **to produce value.
Still workers imo; not exploited but still very much working to survive.
Your small business owners are something inbetween delusional capitalists (they don’t really belong to that class but they really want to), and delusional workers (they really do belong to this class because they are still putting in time and effort but they really don’t want to.)Yes, that’s the point. They share some aspects of their class position with labour, and some with capital. They are in between the two: a middle class.
A manager shares the interest of getting the most out of the people reporting to her and wants to press them to work as hard as possible, because that’s how she gets her promotion, so she shares that interest with capital. But also she is working for a wage not making profits on ownership so she shares that with labour.
A sole tradesman doesn’t have a boss telling him what to do, he only has to care about making a profit and so worries about costs of inputs etc. just like a capitalist. But he has to do his own work he doesn’t command others to do the work for him and just collect the excess value from their work, so in that he is like a worker.
The history has ended
