Yes because meekly acquiescing to capital has worked so well for working people in America.

The rights and living standards of the working class in the western world have been gained through violence or the threat of violence, it’s about time that they started re-asserting themselves.

Yes, it has worked so well for this country. Capitalism is what made this country the superpower she is today. Or was....before...
