    Maybe look into how we ended up with 8-hour workdays and weekends… Hint: it was not through peaceful, polite negotiations with the ruling class…

      Okay, but I’m talking about violent coups really. Not just not-so-peaceful protests.

      Even so, it seems violence didn’t help the Union movement all that much either. I’m no expert though of course.
