It’s more like neither progressivism nor socialism likes me. You’re just redefining what the classes are. You’ll still be on the bottom either way.
Nationalization in and of itself is not pro-worker. Paying people properly, with proper benefits and protections, is pro-worker. We have no evidence the federal NDP under Lewis would do that. We have plenty of evidence that the Manitoba and BC NDP did not do that. The Alberta NDP wasn’t long enough in power to count, nor was the Rae NDP not to mention being 30 years ago. How much is the UK paying its steelworkers with the company it nationalized? How does that compare to the private sector in the UK? That’s what determines how pro-worker it is.
And yet the guys who sold Stelco to these guys were not, and the guys who run Algoma Steel are not. This guy’s an asshole, I agree. This guy also signed a contract. We agree what he’s doing should hurt him. Where we disagree is what hurting him should look like.
