    You could have a concession akin to universal healthcare in a very short time if we actually had a political leadership of the working class with a class struggle perspective.

    Our political power as a class comes from our role in production: our labor allows for capitalist profits and our labor is what runs society. Nothing happens without the permission of the working class, and we literally do not need the capitalists, it’s the other way around. If we withhold that permission, if we actually threaten power on a class basis and in our capacity as workers, they will scramble to make that shit available.
