Boss-napping

[chequita guevara]

It's nothing to do with right vs left wing.

che called capitalists "dispensable", and you defend him and pretend like it's everyone else who is crazy?

Wah, wah, wah. Poor little rich people, they're so oppressed.

Just because someone has money doesn't mean they no longer have human rights.

You're worse than the most extreme capitalists in terms of being evil, che...if only you could see.

[chequita guevara]

It's class war.

This thread is a clear reminder of why I rarely post on this board. You're all a bunch of idiots sometimes.

Firstly we have to be very careful about the wording in the article. Kidnap was used, a strong word. Reality? He was barricaded in his office. Very, very different.

We are seeing a situation where those who have made the **** ups being rewarded for it, with our money. No amount of the seemingly endless right-wing rhetoric posted into the thread will make it any different. And this is allowed to happen because of a decided lack of balance of forces. Companies use collective bargaining with the control of jobs in large numbers, so unions are a necessary counter to that. All checks and balances. To destroy the unions would cause more problems than you could imagine for the lot of everyday man. Unfortunately some of you rather naively don't seem to realise this from your convenient middle-class positions.

I have to admire the French here for sticking up for their position when every attempt is being made to erode it from the system in which we live.

Now I am not advocating revolution or something here, all I am trying to say is that there needs to be balance. The US has very little unionisation...interesting, is that why you have some of the worst working conditions in the Western world with the longest working hours, shortest holidays and fewer rights and protections. When you repeat those anti-union mantra, think carefully about whose interests you are protecting.

I suspect another torrent of right-wing abuse in response to this post as has been thrown against Che and France in this thread. You've got to admit though, they've got a point, as inconvenient as it may seem to your worldview.

Sometimes I don't understand Europeans. I guess the fact that their continent has been ravaged with wars for so long that they just wanna live their life in content laziness.

Maybe that's why idiots like Provost come here advocating a welfare state and class warfare. They like to point fingers, like blaming this economic crisis on the rich people. Oh wait, don't they blame everything on the "rich" people?

You see, in America, we don't have class warfare. Everyone just minds their own business, most of the time, and lives their life. We don't need European intellectuals coming here to remind us to unionize and destroy our business.

But go ahead, enjoy your welfare state, sit in your appartment and suck on society's teet until you're old enough to retire. Rant and rave about the evils of capitalism, of wealthy people, of conservatives.. tell people to unionize, riot, murder.

Hey, it worked for you guys in the 1930s, right?

Eurotrash scum.

There will be no Revolution, there will be no literal Class Warfare.

Stop jerking off to your violent revolution dreams and get employable skills. Enough is enough, how old are you...

The oppressors have no rights the oppressed need to respect in their struggle for liberation. As for there being no revolution, I'm sure the idea of revolution was as foreign to the sycophants of Louis XIV as it was real to Louis XVI. Just because you lack imagination and historical knowledge doesn't mean reality won't ***** slap you.

The hell we don't. If you ask your boss for a raise, you're engaging in class war. When your boss docks your hours, he's engaging in class war. The situation in America is that the working class surrendered after being given good terms at the end of WWII. But, as Lando found out, "This deal is getting worse all the time." The workers can only be pushed so far before they resist.

Looking around, it seems that time has come. Whether it becomes a long term trend or is simply a temporary outbreak remains to be seen.

It's interesting that "the oppressor" in your eyes is the person being forcibly confined.

You are despicable.

Just because you lack imagination and historical knowledge doesn't mean reality won't ***** slap you.

While it is true you have a terrific imagination (as any commie will), it is amusing you think reality will *****slap me.

Just because, for a few hours, the master is at the mercy of his slaves, does not mean he is not the oppressor.

1) How did this man oppress the workers? In detail, now. If you say they didn't get 10 weeks vacation, I'll personally hack this site and ban you for life.
2) How is it not oppression for the workers to kidnap the man?

[chequita guevara]

How does the master not oppress the slaves?

How is it oppression when the slaves kill their master?

che, the working conditions at the 3M factories in France do not constitute "oppression". I challenge you to tell us why it is oppressive.

A gilded cage is still a cage.

[Imran Siddiqui]

At least the "rich people" are contributing something of worth to society (and no, if che is going to make attacks like that, I don't consider it a low blow).
