      Yeah. It means they’ll try to keep us down even more by making us poorer and poorer, self-defeating tactic that it is. Eventually, it’ll be like a bolt of lightning or an earthquake; the imbalance of power will hit a breaking point and it will equalize. Quickly and violently.

        Unfortunately there is no guarantee the side of labor prevails. I recommend reading into the Weimar Republic if you can. Here are 2 youtubers who cover it well if you are interested. They aren’t comprehensive if you do history as a profession but they are good.

        The Betrayal of the German Revolution

        Unfortunately Jonas Ceika has privatized his videos temporarily so I can’t add that one but should they come back soon his are good too. Both are 3 part series!
