Chapter 766: Time Changes Everything, The Wonderful Use of Snowpiercer!

Wu Xiang is a dose of arsenic for the United States, but as far as the union in his mind is concerned, is it too evil?

You know, our current big organization, people started by relying on trade unions, are you Wu Xiang denying others?

This matter, that is really wronged Wu Xiang, because of this matter, he has a precondition, that is, time!

If we want to talk about trade unions and the workers' movement, we can't help but detach ourselves from this question of time, because this premise is really too important.

In the past, from the middle of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century, the labor movement at this time was booming, and the labor movement at this time was also just, although there were also acts such as squeezing out Chinese workers, but on the whole, it was still just.

Why?

It's too simple, because the reality at the time was that capitalists weren't fucking things!

At that time, the capitalists could give one less child to the wages to the workers, so one less child and higher treatment?

Beat you up!

And you love to do it or not, don't do it!

That's really the case, and it's not just that, so why is the slave trade?

Isn't it just about getting cheaper workers?

THE SALE OF BLACK SLAVES, THE ARREST OF CHINESE LABORERS, AND EVEN THE ARREST OF CHINESE LABORERS HAVE PRODUCED A WORD CALLED 'SHANGHAIER', WHICH DOES NOT MEAN THE PEOPLE OF THE MAGIC CAPITAL, BUT THE MEANING OF THIS WORD IN THE WEST AT THAT TIME IS, 'FIRST STUN PEOPLE, DRUGGED, BEATEN, WHATEVER.'" And then the people who are sold to the factory to do hard labor'!

So why are they called 'Modu people'?

It's too simple because of this move. It started from the magic capital, and it was still the Qing Dynasty at that time. But the United States needs laborers, and black slaves are still controlled by slave owners, so what about the factories in the north?

Beat the stick, drugged...... That's it, all of them.

This kind of kidnapping incident in the magic capital was earlier than the later sale of 'piglets' in the Pearl River Delta region, and even later this method was not only used on Chinese, but also white people in Europe and the United States, and many of them were also engaged in this way. That's why the word 'SHANGHAIER' has changed in this way.

There is a book called 'The Betrayed SHANGHAI', which tells this story, and even the great writer George Bernard Shaw said the same thing.

If they do this kind of thing, then what kind of child labor, what kind of blood and tears factory, it doesn't matter at all, right?

Even if we look at the Chinese workers, they took the initiative to return to work when they went on strike. You say, what would you do if you were engaged in a workers' movement?

Of course, this means. It's not right to beat someone, to squeeze out, even to rob. This is absolutely not right, and we must condemn it. But. At that time, the actions of the Chinese workers were also wrong. Isn't it?

We have to admit that the Chinese workers of that year, they were indeed more ignorant, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they were stupidized, and they didn't even resist in their hearts, the Qing Dynasty was naturally happy like this, then how stable their country was, the Chinese workers had not yet awakened, which is why Mr. Mao admired Mr. Sun so much, because the revolutionary pioneers were really too difficult and difficult.

But this kind of mentality, in the eyes of other workers, then you are an anomaly, that is, you are sabotaging our strike action, not beating you Chinese workers?

If you look at it at the root, the rulers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were too bastards, and if you look for it again, you will find that the rulers of the Ming Dynasty were also bastards, so why can't they enter the sea......?

Going deeper, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the workers' movement, so then again, the workers' movements in those days were indeed necessary and just, but now?

It's different!

In fact, there is a very obvious truth, that is, we are now very sound in the law!

At that time, the capitalists were really at the point where no one could manage them, and the laws were not perfect, and the workers did not oppose them, so who would help the workers to administer justice?

But now, a lot of things have changed, and there are so many laws and regulations in the United States? It's not like a professional can't figure it out at all, right?

The same is true in Europe, and their welfare is already very good, much better than in the United States.

In addition, if a large organization is in power in China, it is written in the program that the big organization is the representative of the advanced working class, not only representing, but also advanced, and the key thing is that all kinds of laws and regulations have also been promulgated.

Not to mention anything else, we in China have social security, which means that when workers retire, the state will at least manage it, which is much better than that of the United States.

Many people will surely say, how is this possible? Our retired workers are obviously not treated as well as those in the United States, and they are compared to other car workers?

We have to admit that the treatment is indeed not as good as others, but you must know that the social security in the United States, the normal one can only be enjoyed when you are 66 years old, and it was not retired at the age of 65 before, but now the United States can't stand it, and it has been postponed for another year, and the auto workers, they are really a special group, and they are all fought for by the trade unions, so if you want to talk about social security, we still have some advantages, and the 48-year-old of American auto workers can retire, which is completely the car company paying the bills.

And this also explains why our trade unions in China do not have a strong sense of existence now, because many things are no longer needed by trade unions, and social welfare is steadily improving.

In fact, this is also why our Chinese enterprises are now vigorous, because these burdens have been thrown to the state, and the whole society will bear the welfare of the whole society, which is a very remarkable progress, at least in the competition, our enterprises have an advantage over the United States.

Of course, there were many costs back then, and those were all pains that had to be experienced in the midst of social change......

We have to say that the unions were in the beginning. It is of positive significance, and it has contributed to workers all over the world. But this is no longer the case before, and time has changed the nature of unions. It's hard for the unions to play a positive role anymore, and they're really dragging down the big companies right now.

Now Europe and the United States are still on regular strikes, in fact, they want to increase money, welfare, has reached a point of madness, no matter what happens to the rest of the society, whether there will be problems in life, anyway, we are going to strike.

So, will they really be able to achieve their goals?

Let's put it this way. It's true that striking people sometimes achieve their goals, but what about society as a whole?

In terms of numbers, in the case of American union employees, their benefits have increased, but the wages and benefits of workers who have not joined unions are declining!

And just like this, the rise and fall are exactly equal. There are fewer workers in the trade unions, and they have risen a little more, but the vast number of workers have been treated less. In fact, this is the inevitability of capital. Capitalists are not philanthropists, and if they give more money to you, they will give money to others. Less.

To put it simply, the total amount of wealth created by this society has not changed. Then the workers of your union want more. Then the other workers naturally get less, that's the reason.

And, just this money, did it really fall into the hands of the union workers?

Don't forget, the union needs 5% of your salary!

In this way, the union has indeed become a little evil now, so if this thing made by this guy Wu Xiang is really done, it seems to be ......

Let's not be in a hurry yet, we can't be in a hurry, take our time.

It's just that at the time when Wu Xiang was drugged, there was really a strike in the United States, this time it was a strike by oil workers!

Oil prices are still hovering at a low level, and such oil prices have made shale oil in the United States almost at a standstill, so to speak, it is basically a total shutdown.

If you stop working, you won't be paid, and you can't live anymore, so what should I do?

Taking to the streets, strikes, all kinds of demonstrations, that's the means. But......

Generally speaking, this is the largest strike since 1980, but the result of this strike.

Since February, it is now March, and the two sides are still in a stalemate.

To be honest, it looks like a stalemate, but in fact the union side can be said to have failed.

The reason is very simple, that is, the timing of this kind of labor movement is not right, you see, you oil workers are striking at a time when oil prices are so low, so what can you do if you strike?

The reason why the auto workers' strike was successful was not because the auto companies were bullish at that time, and now the oil, on the contrary, naturally has no effect.

Well, the workers don't give up like that.

"Brothers, colleagues, those cannibalistic capitalists, they don't pay attention to us at all! They tricked us into such a desolate place, let us drill wells, let us refine oil, let us do this and that, but now, those guys are suing us, get out!"

In a bright and spacious old factory, there seem to be many such places in the United States, and a middle-aged white man is talking loudly to a group of people.

These individuals, their clothes are relatively ordinary, it should be said at a glance that they belong to the working class.

"What are we going to do? We're going to resist! We've tried before, strikes, marches, it's useless, we need to let those bastard capitalists know our power! Only then can we get back what we want!"

"Yes!

"Resist! Resist!"

The enthusiasm of the audience was aroused, and it really felt like a workers' movement.

"But what do we do? We can't strike now. "Yes, strike is the strongest and almost the only means of the working class, so what can the working class in the United States do?

"I'm going to use tougher means than strikes...... Everyone, please take a look!"

The middle-aged white man actually started to show everyone a movie, and this movie turned out to be ......

Snowpiercer!(To be continued......)
