Chapter 767: Revolutionary Teaching Film!
Henry Scott, who was originally a member of the United Steelworkers of America, and was in a good position back then, but then, he really couldn't look past the actions of this 'steel union', in his words.
That's a bunch of scum!
Henry saw very clearly that if the big corporations operate the products, then the unions operate, and that is the workers!
Yes, the workers are their products, and these union members are simply insatiable.
Take this time the general strike of oil workers in the United States, in fact, this strike was also organized by the "United Federation of Steel", because the current trade union of oil workers is the "United States of Steel", but this time the strike organization is organized, but what are the conditions for negotiating with those large companies?
Shelton, the media liaison officer of the Steel Federation, said that American oil workers are working in a space full of hydrocarbons for a long time, which is dangerous, and we oil workers need better health insurance and safety protection......
That's a nice thing to say, but what about the facts?
Henry also had some acquaintances in the United Steel Federation, and he learned from these individuals that in fact, the chairman of the United Steel Federation, Leo Gerard, gave those large companies a very simple condition, that is, to double the treatment of oil workers!
What a nice mention, it's amazing!
But how could they say yes to the oil companies?
Since the end of last year, the price of oil has been plummeting, and the oil refining workers are better, but what about the drillers? What about the shale oil and gas workers?
They don't even have a job now, and their basic livelihood is in question. And so at this point, you go and tell the oil company to double our pay?
What idiot would say yes?
Needless to say. This condition is simply a fantasy, and it is strange that it can be achieved. And Leo's bastard has already rejected 7 proposals, and the big companies are still making proposals, but I'm afraid they can't satisfy Leo's appetite.
The strike that began in February looks like a month has passed, but the two sides are still in a stalemate, and the question is who is benefiting from this stalemate?
Clearly, Henry was a man of the inside story, and he knew very well what the purpose of the United Steel Union was.
These bastards are definitely not thinking about the workers, they are actually complicit in those big companies!
That's right. In the context of the current recession in the oil industry, you still put forward such harsh conditions, so how can this be for the good of the workers?
If you go on strike, you won't be paid, anyway, it's good to keep going, and the oil companies are probably going to be happy, and they can save a lot of costs very legally and reasonably.
Let's just say that the scale of the strike is now the largest since 1980, but in fact. With less than 10,000 people on strike, how much can the US oil companies suffer? Besides, the vast majority of those individuals were workers in factories that had been shut down!
So, Henry knows it very well. This so-called strike is definitely a complete hoax, but it's a pity. The workers are a large part of the people who have been deceived by the Steel Federation, and some of the others. I can't see the evil purpose of the Steel Federation.
No way, that's how American workers are. Their IQ is really not high. It's not an insult, it's a fact, Henry used to work in a trade union, and some of the workers he came into contact with, and he knew that he might be better than Forrest Gump if he listened to them one by one, but anyone who was smarter would not do this kind of dangerous work.
Henry knows very well that this is actually related to anti-intellectual education in the United States, when he went to school, he didn't study well, and when it came time to work, it was a mess.
But these things, he is helpless at all, besides, he is not a saint, so what Henry can do is to do his best to organize a group of people and truly form a force, instead of being controlled by the trade union, because those bastards are simply worse than the capitalists!
If he wanted to engage in the workers' movement and organize his forces, Henry found that in fact, the ideas and writings of Marx and Engels were very good, which was also true, people were originally engaged in the workers' movement, especially that sentence.
The proletariat has nothing to lose, only chains!
To put it simply, Lao Tzu has a bad life, are you still afraid of fighting you?
However, this is a communist thing, and you know, in this part of the United States, communism is not to be lightly propagated.
Let's put it this way, freedom of speech, is there?
Yes!
But communism doesn't work, if you study this thing, that's okay, but it's not okay to go around propagandizing and preparing to incite anyone.
Especially in American politics, if anyone is accused of being a communist, it will be interesting, don't you see that the guy who scolded Ohama is the most ruthless to this point?
So, Henry knew very well that he couldn't propagate communism, but what could he do now if he wanted to stir up some people, or to instill in these American workers, who had been deeply educated by anti-intellectualism, a communist mentality?
He thought of many ways, such as reading books and reading newspapers, but it obviously didn't work. More than 30 percent of people in the United States have dyslexia, let alone reading newspapers, not to mention dyslexia, there is no communism in newspapers.
Watch the movie!
This was the best thing Henry could think of, one thing was safe, the other was edutainment, and it could be accepted by these already anti-intellectual workers.
If you just do that, what kind of movie do you watch?
In fact, Henry first thought of "The Hunger Games", a movie based on this novel that young people liked, but the thing in it was simply ...... Too gentle, right?
Although there are brutal repression, murder, and bloodshed in this movie, the kind of methods in this movie are too idealistic and pediatric, and there is a big difference from reality at all.
Real rulers, if they can really be like that president in the movie. Why are you doing the Hunger Games?
It's not necessary at all, to watch the gladiators of ancient times? If you want to play. We can play that way, it's simpler. Bloodier......
And there is another question in "The Hunger Games", that is, how do the rebels have such strength?
That's right, in fact, a rebellion, a struggle, the most difficult thing is to get weapons, get resources for fighting, these things the ruler can't give you, and in the early stage of the rebellion. These resources are the most rare.
Then "The Hunger Games" didn't work, but Henry soon found a better film, and one that was more suitable for today's American workers!
This movie is "Snowpiercer", this movie is really in line with the actual situation at the moment, let's put it this way, and even a lot of people commented at the time, is this movie almost exactly the same as what happened in Ukraine?
The American labor movement has now become less intense by the trade unions. Therefore, if you want to engage in this movement again, you have to start from the initial stage, the movie "Snowpiercer". Definitely a very good, revolutionary teaching film!
“…… Look at this place, this woman. That's right, women of Chinese descent. What is she doing? She's speaking to people who have been through the same thing as herself, she's stirring up the courage of these individuals. Fight with her...... Workers, this is what we need to do most now, if we want to be strong, then we need more people, people like us, only in this way can we make those company bosses afraid!"
Henry, who was speaking to the oil workers, pointed to a fragment from Snowpiercer, and it was clear that this place was Comrade Hai Qing's inflammatory speech to the passengers at the rear of the train.
“…… Look here, they are using the conditions in their hands, and they are using everything they can, although it is relatively tattered, but these things also have a certain use......"
Here, of course, the passengers at the back of the car are making weapons, shields, or something.
But in this place, some people have expressed dissent.
"Henry, we have guns, we don't need to build them!"
Well, from this we can conclude that this guy is an 'anti-intellectual' character.
Henry had to patiently explain: "We have guns, we can go to the supermarket to buy them, but the guns there are different from the guns of the army, if we really compete in firepower, we can only be beaten passively......"
In fact, when he said this, Henry didn't know why, he thought of a great man surnamed Mao said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten......
Well, it's nothing, in fact, Plechette Mao has a high status in the hearts of many Americans, just like Occupy Wall Street before, where there are also many people holding up Mao's head!
Could Henry, then, have developed the real workers' movement he wanted?
"Let's look here......"
Bang!
While Henry was talking about the details, suddenly the door of the old factory was kicked open.
"You're breaking the law! You're surrounded!"
"Hands up!"
"Ah! I'm innocent!"
"You bastards, we didn't break any law!"
A group of policemen rushed in, and as soon as they entered, they began to wreak havoc, and these workers, they were instantly confused, like rats of cats, hiding in Tibet.
"You don't have the right to arrest me! You don't have the right to do that! The movie we watched was a genuine DVD!"
Well, Mr. Henry's watch was still very good when he was pinned down by the police.
"You're suspected of gathering illegally, and you individuals don't have legal permits!" the police said.
"FART!WE'RE JUST HAVING A PARTY!"
To be honest, a gathering of this scale is really not as good as a party.
However, Henry soon learns who reported him, as he sees acquaintances he has seen in the Steel Federation before......
"You bastards! You're going to hell!"
Will Mr. Henry's Workers' Movement Succeed? (To be continued......
PS: Thank you for killing and killing, fightcyw, Haotian Wuji supremacy, thank you for your monthly ticket, thank you very much!
Then what kind of black car suddenly saw a German media, saying that Japan will become the next Greece, this thing...... I don't know why, why is it still singing about Japan?
Okay, this matter has anything to do with us, let's watch the show, hehehe.
Without further ado, thank you all for your support, thank you!
