The NLRB has been and is clearly on Capitalists’ chopping blocks since forever. Even though, somewhat ironically, its existence was meant (or has had the effect anyway) to tamp down on militant labor movements in the US. If SCOTUS eviscerates NLRB, and why wouldn’t they? Biden nor any other dem has lifted a finger to stop them so far, it will be sort of like closing the loop of labor relations in the US.

Calling it a loop or a cycle is actually rather hopeful of me. It could just be the end of linear progression. Capitalist exploitation was crazy high, militant labor movements squashed it back down, capitalists create a legalized relief valve that squishes out the most powerful parts of labor actions, unions go along with it, unions are slowly crushed, capitalists say “hey, why do we still compromise by having the NLRB?”, capitalists erase the NLRB and workers are back in working conditions like late 1800s as far as owner/worker relations.

Does militant labor action grow from there causing the formation of massive unionization efforts, general strikes, perhaps some cough coughing of billionaire owners, perhaps some sabocoughing of means of production and such? I dunno. I like to hope so, but, I don’t have any faith that people will do so. Will it be a line straight into the ground or more of a sine wave or parabola shape that is almost at the bottom of the curve? Hmm.

As always, gotta end my thoughts with “we’re fucked.”

If the NLRB is unconstitutional then so is the Supreme Court.

class collaborationist agency I wouldn’t miss seeing go. let the capitalists tear away their own tools of repression in the search for profits
