Dou’s uncertainty about whether it iw more like that we stop the assault on the New Deal or return to the 19th centuty is pretty optimistic. In the 19th century militant labor used thser strike as a powerful weapon, and some unions like the Railway Woekers were headed by reds like Debs. So, I think we’d be lucky to get back to the 19th century.
Except the workers mostly lost, and often got shot. There were no
social benefits either. Militancy isn’t a value in itself if it can’t
deliver anything.
