Once upon time in a far away country, workers were slaves or serves. Rich were getting richer, poor poorer because a very authoritative stupid king thought that colonizing countries that did not belong to him was a good idea. So the country indebted itself (notably to bribe the enemies and build fortifications that were over-engineered and would be delivered 150 years to late).<p>The riches refused to pay the taxes, especially the church that would have 10% of everything for relieving the poors ... ecclesiastics.<p>Workers were owned by life long renting contract by which they would belong to their bosses.<p>Then a revolution happened.. asking for fiscal equity, that given the obstruction after month of status quo and a famine due to something weired in the weather made people change the system.<p>Slavery disappeared syndication were prohibited, workers wishing to work less than 12&#x2F;7 wished to make a point and made a demonstration. They took refuge in a church and Napoleon had them shot. A book to follow the movement of the workers was created to control them. &quot;The identity papers&quot;. Napoleon was the friend of the bankers he created the fed bedore the fed. A private bank used as a way to control the public money.<p>Then, capitalism got wild. Kids were working, the contracts stipulating and hour worked was an hour paid stopped to be respected. Security conditions were not respected especially in masonry. But it was no problem, companies not only were not paying they were not liable legally neither for harms nor financial. And the army would shoot the vehement workers.<p>Blood was spilled. A lot of it. In mines, in textile industry ....<p>Masons proudly broke the noses of their bosses refusing to pay for the death resulting in their work. Social security appeared at first as an arson. Masons were proud stupid people not caring about the law and pretty well organized.<p>A company noticed diminishing returns after 40hours&#x2F;week, 12h&#x2F;day so they tried to make more money. But, other companies were not agreeing.<p>WWI happens. In another country far away (UK) strategist discover fire arms kills less than explosive and explosives with tired workers persons tends to kill the wrong soldiers. UK as a country at war does everything; producing, healing, fighting. They force the companies to respect working norms because accidents and defects don&#x27;t worth the costs. A discovery is made: human can suffer from fatigue.<p>WWII happens, in France wealthy people like the nazi regim and the idea of suppressing unions. Weirdly enough the army have problem fighting because of weird orders. The country higher instances collaborate and not a name of wealthy people will appear amongst the one who saved the jews.<p>On the other hand in the population some people would fight against the bad guys. Commies, foreigners, jews, armenians, soldiers, and one general in London that was gifted in politics. This general did not like very much these commies, and foreigners ... but they helped won and whitewash the reputation of the country when USA were preparing the total replacement of the administration and money.<p>War kills blindly. Skilled workers were killed. The companies had to accept to negotiate and improve work conditions.<p>Also commies were accepted in the government and had the right to put in motion commies laws like : protection of the youth, respect of the contracts, an hour worked is an hour paid, bosses are legally responsible for the harm coming from their decisions.<p>Cold war happened. USA was scared of commies, so with the help notably of mafia, henry kissinger created fake commies-real terrorists groups to make people vote right. People were killed, assassinated.<p>A race to the arms ruined almost every countries in the world, but everybody made great expensive useless equipment creating huge debts ....<p>And we are back at the social inequity square (companies not paying their taxes), penal irresponsibility, an hour worked is not paid ...<p>So, since history repeat itself, what is the next step?<p>A bloody revolution that could worsen the situation or a war in which resources instead of being used for the improvement of life will be diverted to make the miserable kill each others (and resulting anyway in skilled workers killed alike)?
