you have to be prepared to get knocked down. They are not going quietly into that dark night.

Remember the history of the early strikes and how far the rich and powerful are willing to go to keep power in their hands. The Pinkertons are still around, and so is the FBI. Remember how the Bureau treated the Civil Rights movement? Remember the Ludlow massacre?

Right now they mostly don't believe they are in any danger but like the video from Davos and other places suggest, they are waking up. Get ready.
