Are we talking of the country of COINTELPRO, that killed civil rights activists, or obliterated unions and the US socialist party by force and shady tactics? it's like, you can say what you want, as long as it has zero consequences -- otherwise, prepare to meet some serious shit.
- strictnein 10y agoWe destroyed the unions so hard that there are over 7 million government employees who are members of various unions. Because when a government really destroys a group they let huge swaths of their own employees join that group.
- marklgr 10y agoNo, they make sure that what's left as unions is pretty much harmless.
