I bet the office worker that wrote this never carried 30kg bars of Bitumen up 30m ladders. That was a fun between jobs I did for a little while back in the day.
The popular idea they have in their head of the communist and the reality I see outside are totally different. If anything this is them projecting themselves into the accusation. The railway maintenance union RMT is the most radical union in the UK and they had soviet flags out at some of their picket lines. The more physical the worker the more radical things tend to get in my experience.
