"Damn that sounds pretty significant, I learned about similar events in school but definitely never this. I wonder if it's as big as the post implies or if it's being exag-"

The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history and is the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War.

"... Huh."

Well I see why they left this one out.

Or we organize our own industrial worker cooperatives and try to avoid a shooting war.

Organize workers into a co-op, negotiate staffing agreements with the capitalists, and use the staffing margin to fund a business plan for the co-op to operate.

And then of course, drop the staffing contracts when they're no longer needed. Too bad so sad, find your own workers now.
