Year End Class Struggle: Posties, Starbucks, Amazon

  • Summary

  • The Canadian postal worker strike was busted, the NALC fights on for a VOTE NO campaign, the Amazon workers strike, and 500 Starbucks Stores walk off the job. What a week its been for class struggle and what a way to end 2024! We end off with a discussion on the class nature of Starbucks baristas. Are they proletarian heroes or petty bourgeois parasites? (Spoiler alert they are workers who deserve a union). The ACP once again launched the barista discourse because they hate starbucks workers for some reason and distort Marx to fit their narrow and bigoted worldview.
