With the tentative success of the UPS Teamsters, the seemingly growing unionization of Starbucks locations, and the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, is it...appropriate to have some optimism for the working/salaried classes in the US?

Optimism, yes. But withnthe acknowledgement that we will have to claw every right and benefit we get from the capitalists, and make them jolly sorry evey last time they try to roll those benefits back and away.

And until we do, they'll make us bleed for wanting to be treated humanely.

So provided we're willing to commit to relentless pursuit of civil rights and workers' rights for all, we can get them. But we can't tolerate even a jot of their equivocation.
