A lot of people died to get the pittances we got from the ownership class. Decades of

  • labor: we want to paid in real money, and work less than 12 hours a day 6 days a week
  • owner: no
  • labor: then we're going on strike
  • owner, to the state: HELP
  • the state: sends police and troops to do violence to labor

The idea that peacefully asking for stuff on its own is effective is largely ahistorical. A happy myth sold by the people who would be receiving violence.
