An aide to Prime Minister Berlisconi of Italy was assassinated by far-left terrorists in Bologna. The aide was in charge of drafting new labor law, with such fascist ideas as the ability to fire employees, so in their minds he deserved death. Apparently it is a wing of the Red Brigade.
I wish E D would leave, and let Juliet take over.
Juliet is more conservative, and speaks her mind!
E D plays the middle to left tooooo much!
So there!
Having lived for 7 years under socialism/communism, I can verify that this is a threatening idea to socialists. When someone gets fired from their job, the government just has to reassign them somewhere else as they are the provider.
And as teachers we found that it was equally hard to fail a student. When my wife assigned a failing grade to a student, the school administrators came to her and begged her to reconsider. She gave the student work to make up, but when he failed to do any of it, she stuck to her guns and refused to assign a passing grade. However, we suspect they changed his grade anyway.
The one person I know who got fired from his job was a cook who threatened a student with a meat cleaver when the student complained that there wasn't enough meat. And even then, it took 2 days of protests and boycotts from the students before the school took that measure.
