I mean, I wouldn’t recommend “arson against corporate profits without a direct goal” over “founding a union”, if for nothing else but the cost-benefit analysis, but I’m also not going to say that the former doesn’t contribute anything.
What? Who do you think are running all the labor DSA working groups, putting in the work to salt and pepper work places to rebuild the labor momentum from scratch?
Is the burning of a warehouse, in your opinion, also a form of “labor momentum”? China’s an autocracy just like the USSR was where thinking incorrectly gets you put in a slave labor encampment. They have no worker solidarity.
No, it’s clearly someone lashing out in anger. Fed up with their abysmal material conditions and feeling like there was no viable outlet for meaningful change. Likely feeling completely isolated in both their workplace and community. Warehouses are notorious for their union-busting measures, I doubt this warehouse was an exception.
China is infinitely more of a Democratic Republic than the United States. I’m critical of their lack of robust labor rights and welfare systems. I also don’t live there so not really relevant to the US Labor situation. USSR doesn’t exist, also not relevant here. Even with all that in mind, across the board China still has more labor rights than the US does, which while that doesn’t say much, still goes to show how little of a leg you have to stand on here.
IDK, man. I feel like Unions would be a superior alternative.

Have you unionized your work place?
Large corporations often just close any stores that unionize, Starbucks and Apple for example.

If every place unionize and they close them all, then the business will go under and everything is as it should be
The last time I worked retail I was a union member, yes. Might be hard to explain to a Tankie, who are lifelong slaves to their masters.

Lol
fire union sounds great
It accomplishes nothing.
you get some friends together and you start fires
fires create hardship, play some ball or valve’s deadlock or something.
fires also create tasty steaks. and turn raw corncobs into eatin’ corncobs. i can’t believe i’m having this conversation in 2026.
How many people did he feed by burning down a warehouse full of toilet paper?
the fuck are you on
