Inequality: Worldwide Scourge

Inequality is the scourge of the U.S. and the world. Just ask French economist Thomas Piketty, or U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen or many intelligent business leaders, and they will tell you that inequality is at its highest in a hundred years. Inequality is the Ebola of the capitalist system, which bleeds out the 99 percent so the 1 percent can continue to make its obscene profits. Just like Ebola, the capitalist system and its inequality is spreading worldwide and it is or will affect everyone if not stopped. When the proletarians have no money to buy the services and goods that the wage slaves produce then the unemployment grows, which puts a larger burden on government. The government has less money because there are fewer taxpayers at every level. Inequality is a black hole, which will get deeper and larger until it sucks all and everyone into it bringing along with it frustrations, fear and uncertainty, and this is where the breeding grounds are created for the groups like the Islamic State (ISIS or ISISL), Al Qaeda, the Ku Klux Klan and other fringe hate groups that reign with terror. The common core that ultimately leads disenfranchised people to these hate groups is inequality. However, inequality is the one thing the 99 percent can change by forcing the money hoarders to part with some of their cash and this is done by forcing a $15 to $18 an hour minimum wage, close all the loopholes that allow them to bank offshore like Ireland did, make the 1 percent and all the corporations pay their fair share in government taxes, provide for a free education, fix our broken healthcare system to a single payer system, and provide pensions. The wage slaves must stay connected worldwide, sharing their Intel and their strategies, which, if done thoroughly and consistently, will make it hard for the greedy 1 percent to run an undeveloped country to rape and pillage the country’s workers with their low wage-unsafe work conditions, or to hide their money. The wage slaves must expose and chase the rich wherever they go. The proletariats now have new technology and should use every aspect of it, even small drones at protests for Intel on the law enforcement and build clearinghouses or databases on what is working and what is not working. Another thing to keep the 1 percent off balance would be to change leaders quickly and often, and mix up the genders of the leaders. For most law enforcement agencies are led by men who think alike. There are not many female 1 percent leaders or law enforcement leaders so their strategies and tactics would work because it would be a foreign concept to most of the male-centered thinking. Also, there is no such thing as a secret any more. Spies and infiltrators is a common thing so now the tactics should focus on speed to hit and run, the old guerilla warfare, examine their weaknesses and devise ways to capitalize on them, move place to place, have many plans, be flexible to change up the plans if need be to meet the demands of the present situation. Lastly, is education about our history, have many plans; keep in mind the 1 percent are listening so use this knowledge to your advantage (as outlines in the Art of War). Gaining a minimum wage of at least $15 to $18 an hour [which has proven successful by The Container Store, which pays its employees $50,000 a year and is thriving] will be a big victory in the states for turning back the scourge of inequality.

Time for an Offense

There are three phases of a general strike and unions must plan for one. Those three phases are: 1. general strike in an industry 2. general strike in a community 3. general national strike We need to move away from being on the defensive and move toward a good offensive. The American Federal of Labor (AFL) could not have held a general strike if it wanted to because they had thousands of different contracts that expired at different times of the year. This was done deliberately so that there is no consolidation of power for a general strike. Also, nowadays, there is no law agency that will support labor, except the National Labor Relations Board (NLBR), which has been under attack and in decline for years. This leaves the burden of change up to unions, and unless unions work together, little will change. We essentially have a combination of job trusts, which are not as strong as contracts, and the courts can break easily because the NLBR will be further weakened and essentially elim...

If Gompers Could Do It, We Can Do It

Labor must vote for the person who will support and vote for labor’s best interests. And in turn, labor members have to support those who are running for office who support labor unions and vote down ballots. Voting down ballot gives the person at the top more power to do what’s best for us. This includes elections for city, county and state positions, as well. If you think a four day work week is wishful thinking, remember workers had to fight for an eight-hour work day and a five-day work week. We, labor members and supporters, need to find people who can fight and win. We need to clean the Congress and Senate of the old Democratic guard who have voted repeatedly to hold the working class back while enriching themselves. This would rebuild solidarity in a magnitude greater than anything either party has seen or offered in the last fifty years. If we can bring about the change in the ruling class we can improve all of our lives. This would be the start of the end of the tyranny of the...

Shock Troops

Gerrymandering is the only legal form of voter theft. Workers, our long range plans should involve 1. crushing Citizens United; and 2. getting rid of the Electoral College. We have been trying to get rid of the electoral college since 1876, and we are still waiting for the revolt. Our unions need to start training some members to be our shock troops and if all unions would do this and work with our local Labor Councils, it would be a good start. Our members need to know our labor laws, local laws, and learn how to protest in the streets if necessary. The antiunion people like Trump, Musk and his billionaire friends work together to crush the working people and convince workers they’re doing them a favor and then use them as shock troops against unions and their workers. All union and nonunion working people must come together and work together to protect what we have now. Labor Councils have retired union members and they could work together to prepare to bring the movement forward....
