Opinion of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 (Taft-Hartley)

FA, because the more you beat up on unions, the greater the chances for a proletariat revolution becomes. Don't you just see it brewing out there?!

You know TNF has thoroughly trashed Taft-Hartley in this thread, right?

Yes, I've noticed an odd cognitive dissonance. One minute they're talking about how all right-wing legislation is horrible and should be stopped, the next they're talking about how they want right-wing policy implemented rather than settle for "meager capitalistic reforms" such as the New Deal and Great Society that merely stifle the growing revolution.

Could you please show me an example of where I've ever said anything to the extent that you suggest here? I've never been against reforms if they are actual reforms. My comments on the New Deal and the Great Society have largely been to say that they have not gone far enough, not that they were not great advances on the part of the working class. I have also never claimed that either of those things were the result of enlightened liberal politicians, because they weren't. They were a response to organized and militant action in the streets, be it the CIO in the 1930s or the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s.

Didn't you say you weren't a fan of FDR because he stifled the growing socialist/communist movements with the New Deal? Per that logic, wouldn't you have preferred he either dithered or pushed right wing policy to further the revolution?

I think you're confusing TNF with me during my lunatic True Leftist phase
