I think this shows how docile they think (and probably are correct) that the working class is, we got safety regulation because there was going to be a revolt over all the worker deaths, now as they get rid if them no one cares, even some workers are chearing about it
I think my generation, that grew after the demise of the Soviet Union, were spoon fed the liberal ideology to an extent that we barely recognize ourselves as workers, and fewer among those recognizing ourselves as the revolutionary class. After the demise of the left that surrendered themselves to neoliberalism, we are suffering from decades of no ideological work to dispute our conscience and the result of this is the big return of far right ideology, since today capitalism is in crisis.
So unfortunately even the most obvious welfare measures that were the results of previous generation of workers’ struggles are being dismantled under the applause of many workers.
I don’t see any way out of this but doing a lot of agitprop and organizing work. I think in a few years we’ll have another opportunity for turning the tables, since I think far right wing politics will turn the landscape in a nightmare, and people will turn from it after the coming downturns. The problem is how much damage these people will do to workers’ movements until they fall.
