“No bro you see no one was turned into gore paste IN the square itself, it was the SIDE streets, and besides, they should have Just Complied anyway, so it’s all Western lies”
Fun question for Americans: how much were you taught about the struggle for labor rights?
Late nineties Midwest public school: barely talked about, Henry Ford given credit for the 5 day work week. The many atrocities were never mentioned.
Early 1990s and my boarding school taught it but not the public school.
I actually got a somewhat decent education on it. Learned about unionization, the fight for weekends, battle of Blair Mountain, and the teacher even played “Solidarity Forever” in class.
I fully recognize my experience isn’t standard, though.
In school? Almost nothing. We learned a little bit about the passing of the Fair Labor Standards Act as “part of the new deal” but like the gun battles fought at mines, railroads etc… not a peep.
