    I’m going to assume this was a call fo violence and the chicken shit mods deleted it.

    All rights are won through violence, and we’ve lost for the last 100 years.

      Not all rights are won through violence. In Australia, the union movement has managed to secure the following through peaceful means, specifically through lobbying, striking and peaceful protest:

      • 40 hour work week; overtime for hours worked beyond this
      • sick leave and annual leave
      • maternity and paternity leave
      • Medicare, our semi-universal public healthcare
      • enforceable safety standards at work
      • compensation for injury at work
      • our ‘award’-based system of minimum pay and conditions per field
      • federally mandated superannuation (forced retirement saving paid by your employer, tax free)
      • protections against unfair dismissal

      While not all rights are gained through violence all rights are limited and revoked by violence, in particular state-sponsored violence.
