The important political movement of the recent past, often overlooked, is a movement in people minds: workers on both right and left beginning to realize they’re being oppressed by the same systemic forces. That’s the most fertile ground for the beginning of fundamental change.

Hopefully people will one day understand that the sweat of their Labour is worth just as much their CEO's, and that their roles are just as irreplaceable.
