REDWAVE said:Note how the reactionary defenders of capitalism not only have expressed absolutely no concern about the three workers killed in North Carolina-- murdered by the bosses, I say-- but their only response is to bring up irrelevant bullshit. Their callousness and heartlessness are exceeded only by their hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty.

The capitalist system has a consistent record of viciously attacking unions and trying to destroy them. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, striking workers were routinely attacked by cops, troops, and private thugs and goons hired by the bosses. Unions were only finally given legal recognition in the 1930's as a result of militant mass struggles by workers. After WW2, the slave labor Taft-Hartley Act was passed, and the reds were driven out of the unions, as part of the post-WW2 reaction. That created a power vacuum which allowed gangsters to seize control of the unions, which were then targeted by the bosses for their corruption-- a corruption which the bosses themselves had brought about. In recent years, there has been a renewed assault upon unions, starting with Regan's busting of PATCO and continuing with the recent attacks upon the West Coast longshoremen and the NYC transit workers.
Finally, I have repeatedly made it clear I am a Trotskyist, and give no political support whatsoever to the deformed workers states in the Soviet Union (now defunct), China, etc. To still attempt to falsely conflate my genuine communism with Stalinism, a grotesque betrayal of communism induced by capitalist pressure on the isolated Soviet workers state of the 1920's, betrays intellectual dishonesty of the blackest and vilest sort.
