The kind of class solidarity I can only dream of as a yank
Solidarity
Autocorrect got me, thanks
There’s a joke in here somewhere. As a ‘yank’ your keyboard won’t even allow you to write the word solidarity without changing it. 🤔
You really need to get the unions going.

There are three battles wise men know not to fight:
- A land war in Asia
- The Finns in winter
- Swedish Unions
For context: Finns won war against entire USSR.
The Finnish still had to cede territory to the USSR but in protecting their country they did wipe the floor with the Soviets.
Yeah they even handed over more territory than the Soviets initially demanded, but they got to retain their sovereignty and reputation. It also led Hitler to underestimate the Soviets, leading to their hard won victory in WW2 against the Nazis, who had willingly opened themselves to war on two fronts.
So it’s a potential hinge point in that if the Soviets didn’t suck so bad in the Winter War or didn’t go through with it, Hitler might not have made what was debatably the biggest strategic error of the war.
Worker solidarity is lovely to see. Good luck Sweden!
Thank you! We will strangle them out!
Proud to be a member of the Swedish metalworkers union!
Nice
Would love to see this happen in the US. Would be a total shitshow but very entertaining to watch.
Short time shit show, long term benefit for everyone.
Please everyone get on board with this. Do not support greedy corporations!
Tesla, Amazon, Starbucks, are all trying to stop there workers from unionizing and giving them better life. You have other options, don’t give them money. This is because in todays world we vote with our money to make change happen.

And yes, there are very few things most people aren’t able to get elsewhere from another company. It’s only a bit inconvenient at first, when you have to spend some time finding better alternatives but once you’ve done that it’s just as easy as before and you feel good about your choices.
This is what happens when capitalism tries to fight with democracy. If government fucks over citizens, then citizens ignore government, but if government represents and helps citizens, citizens will do “Tesla, fuck you!”.
EDIT: or when unions work.
funny choice of an image because that guy and his product got completely fucked by capitalism. that’s why he’s so pissed off here.
How exactly did Linux get fucked by capitalism?
This image is of Linus torvalds giving nvidia the middle finger because they are absolutely terrible to work with, money aside.
Please let it spread
Teslas in Sweden are probably going to have a lot of flat tires in the near future.
Just the ones in the warehouses. Unions don’t get mad at the public. They get mad at shitty, oppressive, conservative employers.
conservative employers.
Depending on location and time, conservative might mean literal communists.
Or caveman, depending on how far back they want to conserve.
It’s Sweden, not France
Good
I find it fascinating that they have no legislation about workers rights. I am curious if any Swedes could inform me how the “conservative” style movements are doing in Sweden.
