Not all Leftists are communists, but all communists are Leftists. And they always behave as communists. One of the things communists believe is that they -- magically -- own whatever business they work for, and can tell their bosses what to do.
We saw it with the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post after the big-wigs at those papers declined to endorse a candidate and discussed adding more diverse viewpoints to their editorial staffs. The so-called 'journalists' attempted to tell Patrick Soon-Shiong and Jeff Bezos how to run the publications. Several resigned (and nothing of value was lost).
In Minneapolis, the workers at a small chain of cafes decided they could strong-arm owners into their woke demands.
Instead, the owner is shutting them down:
sad trombone noises
Last summer, staff at Café Cerés successfully unionized through Unite Here Local 17, winning 88 percent of the vote across the café’s four locations. Their priorities included higher wages, improved health care and PTO, and more consistent scheduling. Workers have been in bargaining for their first contract since August 2024, according to Unite Here, and had four bargaining sessions this month.
The DDP group says it’s working with Unite Here as the closure proceeds, and that its 'immediate priority is to ensure that our impacted Café team members are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.' In a statement, Unite Here Local 17 had this to say: 'Café Cerés charges $16 for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich but refuses to pay its baristas more than minimum wage. The restaurant industry is fundamentally broken, and workers will not stop organizing and demanding more from their employers until they have the basic respect, living wage, and healthcare they need.' Since the workers are unionized, they can bargain over the effects of the closure.
The average profit margin of a restaurant is 3-5%. Every single employee who voted for unionization has no idea how business works.
It's self-inflicted.
No business owner is going to go broke so some barista can virtue signal.
They will move on like the ideological locusts they are.
Easiest decision ever.
So weird.
That requires hard work. Leftists don't do that.
The absolute hubris of those workers.
And the Left will insist real Marxism has never been tried. Except it has. It fails every time.
