    If violence was so effective why did nothing change until the peaceful protest and union negotiations?

    It’s almost like getting people to actually engage in political discussions is more effective than hitting everything you don’t like with a club. Who would have thunk it?

      It’s almost like you’re not engaging in a political discussion. More like you are a bot programed to demonize Luigi and apologize for the CEOs.

      But I think it’s your liberal brain worms rather than code. Either way…

        What, you think the Russians or Israel or some shit have it out for Luigi? Face it, you’re not the revolution just because you idolize a murderer.

      Man read a book on that time period.

      Those protests were not peaceful, a member of the business class almost got killed in his office.

      And the national guard killed kids, women.

      Striking and the threat of more striking is what happened not peaceful protests. And working folks died.

        What lead up to the 1938 labor laws was in fact peaceful protests and negotiations.

        I’m not saying the time period lacked strife and similar events, but there was an immediate cause effect cited by all sides of the issue from the specific peaceful protests and auto workers union.
