Unions at their core are just all of the workers in a workplace. Sure workers in the US can be reactionary as hell so how do we change that? Well, Lenin talked about unions being schools for communism. They're where the average person can start to gain organizational skills, political training and ultimately state building skills. These are skills no other school in the US will teach you. You take these skills to address the material conditions of the workplace and then you can broaden that to outside the workplace. As socialists we don't get power from capital, we get it from people. If we want any chance of meaningful power in the imperial core, then we need to meet people where they're at in the struggle. Lots of those people are workers struggling in workplaces and unions are the tool we can use to address that.

The first few episodes have some cringe depictions of the cultural revolution but that's mostly just to establish one character. Afterwards its mostly just cool space opera from there. I really enjoyed it. Haven't read the books tho

I feel like at this point, it's just so they can stop working on the project and blame it on the inevitable C&D. The only project I know of that avoided this was the person who made a links awakening dx hd for pc, released the game in full and then they disappeared.

The Fed does the exact same shit it always does. They raise interest rates to discipline labor when it looks like workers have more bargaining power to leverage over profitable businesses. And then they eventually lower interest rates because not doing so would cripple the economy (cuz companies will just downsize, hold their money and not do anything). Inflation has way more to do with energy prices and global supply chains than interest rates.

Bought a cheap steam key for smt 3 nocturne and modded the hell out of it. It's been pretty fun aside from the time I got ambushed, insta killed and lost a few hours of progress because my dumbass never saves.
