Weird way to say you didn't read the article since they are talking about stuff as early as 2017.

Work camps. That’s the new labor.

Ok now you're changing the context for "labor".

So the goal of the labor movement, which was and is made up of workers, making unions and fighting for worker's rights, who have a vested interest in not being sent to labor camps, are the ones who are... Trying to put people in labor camps? But also doing too little too late, as of 2017?

No, not the goal of Labor, the goal of the ruling class. I’m saying Labor movements are too little too late.

No, you aren't. You initially said that in relation to the article, saying these people are fighting trump "too little too late", and I'm saying that these people have been doing stuff at least as early as 2017, according to the article. Which is right about when people needed to do stuff, during the first Trump presidency.

So stop jumping around.

And if you're trying to pretend you're talking about the labor movement overall, there's been a form of the labor movement here in the US since the colonial period, and you're kind of spitting on the efforts, sacrifices and lives lost of the labor movement that's been trying all this time to fight for workers. If you think that they haven't accomplished anything, read up on the triangle work shirt fire while you're on the toilet at work knowing you have a set time to go home and aren't locked in there.

Good idea. Give up. Bend over.
