> Labor needs to organize very hard to take back control and that's difficult when everyone is scared they'll lose their job

It's fair to note that one party in the USA has worked very hard to break up unions. And it has worked. So it's not just labor vs. capital. It's labor vs. capital allied with the government.



Politicians don't want to lose their job, so they bow to capital's demands in exchange for campaign funding.


Well politicians from one party bow to capital's demands. Democrats get campaign funding from unions. I'm not claiming Dems are free from corruption or deals with big business - they are not. But they for sure have not worked hard like the GOP to destroy unions and worker rights in favor of big business and the rich.
