This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Union wins weren't incremential change for the betterment of worker conditions...?
You really should check the dates on all those achievements... They weren't granted from the beginning of even the young US, nor all at once.
It is ironically your gatekeeping of "progress" that holds back the gains you want to see because of your contempt at the only path proven effective. Sad.
Socialism isn't a switch we flip. We cannot magic away the current systems of power. Like it or not, most people are too dumb, self centered, or just plain busy to consciously change the systems they deal with. It CANNOT be done by telling everyone the world has to be radically different.
Does it have to be radically different to be equitable? Yes. Is that one of the next 20 stops on the way to an equitable society? NO! You cannot jump to the peak of a mountain simply because you can see it on a clear day.
Pretending the previous power structure has magically evaporated simply because you've pulled a revolution is EXACTLY how every socialist movement gets turned in to fascism. Stop feeding that ignorant mindset that we do not have to deal with existing power structures and powerful. We ALWAYS have to deal with existing power structures. Completely. Even literally killing off the old to avoid their toxic influence creates a new power structure with capital punishment powers that not everyone will remotely agree with.
Again, your ignorance to how the real world works is alarming. Fix your perspective or continue to hinder progress. The choice is yours.
