For anyone who doesn't get the joke: The USA once had a strong and popular left wing that arose out of the brutal working conditions of the 19th century industrial revolution, sometimes going as far as open armed conflict against mercenary groups hired by their employers. The pendulum swung strongly the other way over the 20th century, undoing the literal blood sweat and tears that went into securing basic workers' rights. Now we have to do it all over again, and it's funny to see the news reporting on labor organization as if it's some new concept.
