*4 hour work day*

I'm stupid

They are starting to reverse this. Germany and Austria are currently removing work day limits.

Concessions are at odds with possible profits generally, but given a 4 hour work day would actually be more profitable, I think it's just the bourgoise are incompetent and refuse mutually beneficial concessions to the proletariat out of principal. Their golf buddies will see the headline and see them as lesser, and their golf buddies are worth more to them than profits.

whats next, calling minimum wage laws revolutionary?

the point of organizing is that the consequences of not giving in are worse and less profitable, 4 hour work day vs constant relentless striking

well it was a big leap in living standards that curently benefit you and millions of people around the globe, don't really care if it was revolutionary, it was earned by the working class not granted by any goverment or good willing porky

another comrade pointed out that cutting the workweek by a day or two would probably be a better approach: gives people more entire days to do things.

Consider that a 2x10hr week would be the same number of working hours as a 5x4hr week, but you're getting 5 days in a row off and only two days you put in time.

oh, also means that you don't spend money on travel or potentially eating fast food lunches etc. and instead do stuff at home.

Well that's what I'm thinking has made this hard to push toward, they're already throwing boatloads of money away by not doing a 4 hour work day, a strike doesn't really do anything if profits aren't their primary concern, but vibes.

Bribed to stop violently struggle as a class, propagandized to have false consciousness or garbage interpretations of socialism, so there is no class unity, and all class conscious people, i.e. communists were killed or ostracized.

So the pitiful state of "the left" in the West has been reduced to isn't seen as pitiful, and all their opinions are reducible to hostility to the enemies of the West. That leaves only the option of cutting the West off from cheap resources and labour they depend on to sustain themselves, and shattering their passivity by the jackboot of war, making socialism not a class-conscious choice, but a survival necessity.
