Workers at an Amazon warehouse in North Carolina have rejected a proposal to unionize. They are the latest group of the company’s employees to side against union representation.
Today 4,000 Amazon workers at a North Carolina warehouse will finish voting on a union. Employees say the company “mobilized an army” ahead of the election, siccing local police on organizers and trying to pit black and Hispanic workers against each other.
“Under the National Labor Relations Act, I should have been allowed to flyer on the premises,” said Orin Starn, who had worked at Amazon for six months. “But the police, who in the small town of Garner where Amazon is the biggest employer act as a kind of private security force, didn’t care and just took us off to jail.”
This is why the phrase “fascism is imperialism turned inward” is so real. Using psyops and state violence to suppress dissent is the the same strategy used in the global south to overthrow and depose any mass labor movements or socialist leaning political formations.

There’s also literally Mussolini saying fascism is the merger of corporation and state.
