Unions aren’t supposed to do things "for you", you ARE the union
I would say we’re (Belgium) extremely lucky to have some hope for changing things.
yeah i kind of oversimplified the story. the finance sector used its leverage at the time to force governments to pay out their debts. of course a more pro-worker government could choose not to do that, but in a bourgeois dictatorship the state and banks work in tandem more or less.
when I visited the US I definitely noticed the sprawl of everything! definitely makes it harder to have concentrated actions. in european towns we basically have one or two main streets, so if thats blocked everything comes to a standstill.
yeah my experience here is the opposite, where if you're working class you might not even know about elected officials/parties, but you will know union leaders because unions basically run half the country (not in a super radical way but still)
yeah its basically that. in brief: government intervenes in the economy to do welfare and to take an economy out of a crisis (which Keynes considers to be both periods of high unemployment but also when GDP growth is too high). it was the dominant form of economic theory in the west until stagflation (which is when unemployment and recession are so bad that even the government cant fix it with keynesian mechanisms) and oil crises hit in the 1970s-80s, so governments had to sell national monopolies and defund all their social programs to stay afloat, which is where neoliberalism comes from.
You are mixing up communism the mode of production and communism the ideology
