How Republics Die

There is no reason for a Republic to die, It should live as long as the masses want. There is not given life span. Republics will live or die by the choices of the people we put in change of our Republic’s custody if the people who we put in charge are selfish, greedy and just want power, and people still voted for these people. This simply encouraged more extreme misbehavior and the masses saw this and nothing year after year and election after election with increasing extreme behaviors. In some countries, each president took more power until they did not leave, they became president for life, like Vlad Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China and Kim Jung-un of North Korea. These rulers have shown the way to undercut the power of the Republics and the people. Our rule of law is jeopardized by our elected people taking bribes in exchange for their votes. So, when we, for whatever reason, supported or refused to condemn and hold these people accountable, we are just giving away our Republic, and this could all could have been avoided by the people understanding how and why this was happening, and who has laid the plans to take over our government. Some of these people who want to exercise control over our government include corporations, some are extremely wealthy people who own television stations, news media, social media and radio programs. The next will be ‘do or die’ on both sides. The GOP versus the people, and in order for the people to win, Democrats and unions must stand together in how we vote and fight for if any result is challenged to the U.S. Supreme Court, we will lose just like we did in Bush v Gore. The next two elections are the most important elections this country will ever face. For we could lose the right to unionize, minimum wage, Postal Service, corrupt-free elections that cannot be reversed, our climate crisis and Social Security and what little health care we have, just to name a few. Healthcare is run by greedy companies and providing limited services could be abolished in favor of universal healthcare like the people of Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Isle of Man, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, so why can’t we have the same? We’re supposed to be the richest country in the world yet we treat our people worst than most people treat their pets. There are people who should be in jail at this time for what they did at the Capitol Building ad for shooting people they disagree with for one reason or another. If they get away with what they’ve done, it will be open season on Democrats and unions, and people of color. Think I’m exaggerating, consider none of the republicans who plotted with donald trump to overturn the election and the Insurrection at the Capitol Building have not been held accountable. Congressman paul gosar released an anime video of him killing Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the teenager, whose mother drove him across state lines with an AR-style weapon whereupon he murdered two and injured one Black Lives Matter demonstrators, or Julius Jones, a black man facing execution in Oklahoma despite all the evidence that points to his innocent; or the three on trial for killing a man for jogging while black.

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....
