It won't happen.

It's too easy to forget that even our beloved weekends were only achieved after bloodshed.

The people in power successfully managed to sell us the belief that we can achieve change by sitting on our asses and yelling really loud. If we spend 5 minutes thinking about the current power structures, it's clear that no amount of peaceful protesting will ever achieve any meaningful change.

The only real power we have is to withhold our labor on strikes, and somehow even those need permission (!) to run.
