What do you mean nobody says that any more? What? What the fuck is a hexbear?
Additional fantastic quote from long ago that I can't quite remember: “Corporations would do well to remember that workers didn’t start striking out of a boorish refusal to negotiate, but rather out of a gracious reluctance to storm the factory owner’s mansion and beat him to death in front of his children.”
Reminds me of capital flight. Are you really going to ship multi-ton machinery to random global south countries? Who's going to purchase all of these empty factory buildings? Who's going to purchase your products?
What kind of dumbass thinks capital flight isn't fulfilling every leftist's crocodile wetdreams of billionaires magically disappearing?
I might be getting some of the story wrong, but there was a Lipton tea factory in France that shut down and was going lay off everyone and move production out of the country. The workers there showed up and literally just seized the thing and they eventually won the right to it; it’s now organized as a co-op called “SCOP-TI”.
There should be a lot more of this in de-industrializing nations.
