“they refer to people with jobs as “worker ants” and they HATE them.”
Don’t stop now. What else does the head union scumball call workers? I know lots of union “worker ants.” Sometimes I get this urge to harass them for their native stupidity. Tell us more.
You want the skinny from me? It’s been awhile. “My” Socialist Workers hung out in my college of the University of London.
They liked to distribute their newspaper.
I was a curiosity as an American who had lived overseas for awhile. Perhaps they saw me as some kind of a friendly thing. I WAS a friendly thing...maybe I was a thing to be respected...who knows?
At THAT time, the conservatives had had CHARGE of England....
I was an American conservative and perhaps they found it charming.
America, after all, had MUCH LESS racism than England in 1990. England has really never confronted its racism.
Even though the conservatives had had control of England...the socialism was everywhere. We think our public housing is bad sometimes...England’s was a cesspool.
The Socialist Workers were like a cult. They looked for the disenfranchised...now REMEMBER...the UK pays for people to go to college.
So...the very premise of “you are oppressed” was bad....but people will believe it. England was already pretty socialist....
The socialists weren’t here as much when I came back. I think American students would have laughed them out of town. Even liberal ones.
But socialist workers are NOT about work. That’s NOT what they want. They want forced redistribution of wealth.
If you are WORKING...they hate you in America. They LOATHE you. You are a “worker ant”...you have no “greater comprehension of the struggle”...if you were a REAL human...you would strike.
If you can’t strike you will do the very LEAST...so as to drive your corporate masters (employers) to their knees.
The boss has no right to his large house. The rich are not entitled to what they have earned because they have earned it on the backs of the “worker ants”.
The socialists will talk a nice game, until you realize what they are. The organizers DON’T work. They try to breed resentment and hate.
They got a grip in England because the economy was bad. They wait until you are unemployed and then they come in and tell you that you were used and you should never trust the employers again...
Oh...I should tell this story about Union bosses.
I had a close family member that worked in a union shop in DC FOR the federal government for over 20 years.
The buildings are historic and the things in them. One day, people in the shop were cleaning out some room...and a worker (who happened to be black) was cleaning stuff out and was talking to my family member (who happens to be white) and he said they were about to throw something out...but he wanted to know what it was...and he came to my family member because my family member knew about antiques...
My family member said, “If you are throwing this out...I want it...it’s a shoeshine stand...in early days, a young black man would often make a living by shining shoes...and this is a shoeshine stand...”
Well...my family member did take it home and found out within a day or so that the union steward had talked to the guy who was throwing the thing out and they were charging my family member with “racist speech”.
See...my family member IS a conservative...he wasn’t a troublemaker...by ANY means...
...and he wound up having to go to classes for saying that “a young black man” would shine shoes....
I’M sooooooo glad he’s out of DC now. I remember him telling me when it happened and I said, “You should ask them WHY they are upset? Are they mad that you said a black man would try to earn a living?”
OF course, that would have been counter-productive...he just had to kiss ass and say, “I didn’t understand how that was racially insensitive....”
True story.
