One hundred years ago, workers in the United States had strong unions, and people knew what was left and what was right…

At that time, the left was all those who fought against the exploitation of the working class. All those who fought for the abolition of slavery and wage relations among the people. And then a big brainwashing machine was put into operation – television. And so today, people are calling Satanists who fight to kill unborn children, to destroy families and for gay rights, ‘leftists’, while workers’ rights are no longer mentioned. Brilliantly done work…

Can we undo that big spin, that shameless twist? Can we make people aware, awaken them from great hypnosis? For something like that, it is first necessary to remember what awakening looked like a hundred years ago:

Letting the Cat out of the Bag
Anonymous

“What did you tell that man just now?”
“I told him to hurry.”
“What right do you have to tell him to hurry?”
“I pay him to hurry.”
“How much do you pay him?”
“Four dollars a day.”
“Where do you get the money?”
“I sell products.”
“Who makes the products?”
“He does.”
“How many products does he make in a day?”
“Ten dollars' worth.”
“Then, instead of you paying him, he pays you $6 a day to stand around and tell him to hurry.”
“Well, but I own the machines.”
“How did you get the machines?”
“Sold products and bought them.”
“Who made the products?”
“Shut up. He might hear you.”

From ‘United Automobile Worker’,
October 1937.

Can you make the difference between ‘right’ and ‘left’?
