    They exist in opposition to the forces of Capitalism. That’s like giving the US government credit for the Civil Rights Movement, completely absurd. It was Capitalism that created child chimney sweeps, and the blood, sweat, and tears of Workers fighting against the Capitalists that ended them.

        No, that’s not what I said. Again, you’re giving credit for the Civil Rights Movement to the US government.

        If a Movement goes against the system itself, you can’t credit the system for conceding as though it was the origin of the Movement.
