This masterpiece is, for me, an excellent expression of the magnificent struggles and revolutions led by the revolutionary working class of the late 19th and early 20th century, which laid the basis of our social and economic well-being and enlightened us with important lessons useful for todays classwar. Even though the working class again and again suffered from defeats resulting from imperialism, neo-liberalism, social-democracy, fascism and last but certainly most disgusting from stalinism.

The most sense I have heard in a while.

How long has it been since somebody serious has sat you down and informed you just how utterly full of crapulous shit you are? Decolonize your mind.

Finally someone with sense. I laugh when public school teacher unions strike for higher wages and then complain when their state taxes go up. I'm just like "REALLY!?!?"

Fools. Don't advocate for labour when you're a labourer. Forced labour should be removed from our lives or atleast equally distributed between everyone. Advocating more labour benefits is the same as demanding your slavemasters for increased slave benefits. BUT YOU'LL NEVER GET FREE. You're just digging yourself a deeper slave hole, because you don't know what to do as a free being..

If only the working classes today displayed such solidarity, honour, loyalty as they did then. A whole generation bought out by benefits, X Factor, sun-beds and beer.
