Herein lies one of the problems with politicians like Mamdani and AOC. Sure they at least speak to the working class, offer reforms that would make life less miserable for workers, immigrants and the poor, and would be far less bad than Trump, Biden, Harris, Newsom, et al. But they're not going to end capitalism; end the wealth gap; end the state's monopoly on violence, used primarily to keep the poor and working class in line.

Today in Labor History October 29, 1918: Wilhelmshaven sailors’ mutiny in Germany. Soldiers and workers brought public and military institutions under their control. They demanded the release of the imprisoned, an end to World War I, and the improvement of food provisions. By November 4, Kiel was firmly in the hands of 40,000 rebellious sailors, soldiers and workers, as was Wilhelmshaven two days later. Workers across Germany elected workers' and soldiers' councils modeled after the Soviets of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and took over military and civil powers in many cities. These events triggered the German Revolution of 1918-1919, which ended the German empire and established the Weimar Republic. #workingclass #LaborHistory #Revolution #uprising #mutiny #germany #soviet #kiel #russia #wwi #communism
