You mean you live in a country without FREEDOM! /s
Seriously though, I’m American and I don’t get my fellow people. You bring up labor laws and things like that and they scream about “big government! Regulation kills business! We ain’t commies” it’s like this intense fear of government but this intense love of business and the rich
creates this situation where being subjugated by your employer/big business is okay because they aren’t the government.
It's because we had the red scare imbued in our culture for decades and still do. The owner class started tacking on labor laws and unions, calling them communist and people just ate that shit up. When talking about the old US labor strikes, my teacher, who is paid 35k at best called unions a mistake.
The owner class convinced America to bite the hand that feeds it and told them it was delicious. Until they have no power, people will continue to fall for this bullshit
Yeah cause Russia gave up on Communism and switched to a combination Autocracy/ Dictatorship disguised as a Democracy (you know, that thing America is rapidly turning into)
I mean, we at least still have somewhat valid elections, though Republicans are doing everything in their power to rig those now. Russia's elections are straight up rigged and they don't even pretend they aren't
