US Government Shutdown- It's Over!... For Now

[Oldenfranck]

Honestly wasn't even aware the government had shutdown. It just seems to be in a constant of doing absolutely nothing anyway so is this not the average day?

This has to be the whitest thing I have seen all day.

^This. The disregard for the working class's needs by the rich and powerful will not be addressed by just trying to organize efforts to solve the immediate problems these federal workers face. Instead of putting a bandage over a gangrenous wound, we need to perform surgery to remove the problem to the greatest degree possible. That means making the powerful suffer along with those that they have left to suffer, and hitting their bottom line hard enough to get them to treat these workers properly in the future.

The needs of the working class are far too politicized these days, there is no unity, and no comradery. Unless a fundamental change occurs the working class will continue to be an infighting, fractured demographic, which spends more time fighting itself than it's natural enemies.

A general strike would bring unity.

Unity is not the effect of a general strike, a general strike is the effect of unity. A disjointed working class would never commit to a general strike in support of a political agenda half of them oppose.

[Telconi]

You want the will of the voters to be ignored because apparently people who respect the will of their voters lack "a pair".

The will of the voters is not to have shutdown and allow people to destroy our national parks among other things

Not the voters who elected those representatives.

[Thermodolia]

You aren’t an ally of the workers.

Well I have news for you we have a interconnected economy and can't have myopic black and white viewpoint of the world

So fuck the workers? So we should just take it in the ass? So the workers should just suffer quietly?

It’s not black and white to say that someone who supports firing striking workers isn’t an ally of the workers

Right, the trillions of dollars it spends goes towards literally nothing. It's not like people's livelihoods are being affected by this.

...

For fuck's sake.

[Thermodolia]

There representatives in the government that is shut down?

It helps those not getting payed thanks to the shutdown. A general strike would force Trump's hand into restarting the government with or with out his precious wall.

Or how about having food drives or helping federal workers pay their bills instead of shutting everything down

And? Then the powers that be haven’t learned shit. Living in constant fear of a shutdown isn’t a good thing. Hopefully a general strike will bring the rotten capitalist system crashing down

From there pov it isn't about a political agenda, it's about workers not getting payed.

They shouldn't stand for this nonsense and should go on strike.

No it isn't it's all about a political agenda. I have watched strikes literally evaporate over politics, people would rather scab than watch their strike be used for a disagreeable political agenda.

They evidently don't agree.

Yeah lets just burn everything down and have a global depression that makes the Great Depression look like good times.

Tel is a worker. And he’s right. Several workers spend to much time infighting to care about the common enemy

Yeah lets just burn everything down and have a global depression that makes the Great Depression look like good times.

Because letting the workers own the means of production will definitely cause a depression.

You apparently have no understanding of what the global economy is and how it works. Lets just default on our debt too and crash the entire financial system.

I think we're all sorry, tbh.

Going to have to second this, the "union goodies" comment absolutely kills any credibility. scabs aren't workers friend.

Scabs are great, though.

You’ve been reading the communist manifesto to much. Read a book that will actually get you anywhere.

We deserve it for allowing so much debt to accumulate.

Well I mean, being a scab is great. You get to rub how much money you're making in the face of all of your annoying co-workers. >u>

People really tend to minimize the damage from their view.
