Still thinking if we got reforms of free healthcare and robust not means tested welfare like a nordic country a lot of "leftists" would jump ship. I mean I wouldn't complain but I've seen so many people think that Sweden is socialist. Regardless American capital will never reform, we're locked into this.
Welfare depletes the surplus population's purpose of bullying working class people into low paying labour. It will never be implemented in the US since it would hurt the capitalist class' interests.
It depends on the circumstances. If those things were accomplished by an organized mass movement, it would simply empower us to ask for more. If it was given to people as a way to keep capitalism from imploding, then what you said would be true
I think after seeing unified opposition from both sides to Bernie's mild reforms it's more likely the U.S will just devolve to open fascism before giving the workers any major concessions

Yup. Why put up with your dangerous unsafe non-union backbreaking job when you can just collect?

This is how I could see it happening, as a concession to a mass worker uprising.

like how they sorta did something after MLK? Riots and shit everywhere, things would've completely kicked off without that.
