Oh, Jesus Christ.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

I forgot how bad it is.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

And force.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

I haven't read this in a while and I forgot how bad it is.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

Oh, God.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

Because basically what they're saying is we want to be able to control everything that you do.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

And this is our... They never say where they believe this right comes from.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

They don't make an argument for naturalism where we are vested by the universal power of management to be able to do this.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

They don't make any historical argument for it where, oh, this is, you know, because of the contracts that have been...

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

negotiated since the 50s something that's fairly standard and we think that we have the right to because of like long-standing precedent they just think that they should be able to control fucking everything yeah which is not um unsurprising for nestle yeah yeah

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

Well, and I think there's a lot of very, very abstract theoretical debate you run into if you're, like, instead of doing shit, you're, like, in theory circles about, like, oh, is, like, is capital its own autonomous entity, or is it, like, a thing that's, like, constantly in, like, relation to, like, the actions of workers?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

And it's like, okay...

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

read something like this.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

And it's like, oh no, they are so worried that they're going to have to react to what their workers are doing.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

And they are already doing this, right?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

This goes back to the whole, like, we're leaking to the media, we're going to sell the company.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

Thing that they're doing where it's like, no, actually, these people are...

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

so not like easily but if you are organized at all it becomes so clear to them that they actually oh no wait hold on they're responding to us like they're not just purely the only thing that gets to like drive history forward and decide literally everything about your life the moment you like try to clove it away from them they see how fragile it is

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 213

And they're like, no, no, no, no, actually, we gotta spell out the fact that we gotta fucking dress you in whatever clothes we want you to wear.
