In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.
Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.
We got to vote for it, is all I can say. All of these surveys, studies .etc mean nothing unless we the American people, get off our asses collectively and vote for the people who can get this done.
If you think voting will get you out of this, my american friend, you are wrong. You need a revolution.
Oh another armchair revolutionist…
Do you really think it’s that’s simple? Tell me, how do you think we’re to accomplish a revolution without shedding blood? What is the aftermath and the road after such a revolution, should it succeed?
You see, nobody in the world really thinks about these things enough as they like to believe that they do. They think that they can get off their couch, revolutionize, then just go back to their couch and watch TV like nothing happened? No, it doesn’t work like that. You need progressive ideals and a bigger map of the change you want to see in the country. And there isn’t anybody in the world that I know of, that can do that. Nor is anyone here going to try.
So I don’t want to hear about “need a revolution” unless I know that fucker at least has a roadmap in how to accomplish it and what will happen after it.
I agree with everything that you just said. But revolutions are not led by a single individual, but by organizing collectivelly. I simplified my reply to your original post, and I apologize for that. What I originally meant was that voting will not change anything. You need radical change. And yes, that will shed blood. But houseless people, minorities, they are already bleeding. The alternative is just to vote? To go to marches? Protest?
Nah, organization and fight against capital.
