MikeDunnAuthorToday In Labor History April 9, 1930: The IWW organized the 1700-member crew of the Leviathan, the world’s largest ship. Originally a German passenger ship, the U.S. seized it in 1917, during World War I, when it was docked in New York harbor. The U.S. subsequently used it to transport its troops to Europe. In September, 1918, the Leviathan left New Jersey, filled with men dying from Influenza. Dozens perished from the flu on the passage over. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/iww" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iww</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldWarOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldWarOne</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandemic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flu</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/influenza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#influenza</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#union</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mutiny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutiny</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strike</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesWhile a lot of the stories in this thread focus on the cowardice of institutional actors in either submitting to, or even assisting the fascist Trump regime in installing a Christian Nationalist dictatorship, when the history of this political moment is written, it will be noted that it was actually big companies in the US private sector that embraced the regime's white nationalist policy platforms first and in doing so, helped legitimate Trump's quest to rule as King of America. Unlike institutional actors in higher education, lawyers targeted for revenge by Der Führer, or bodies controlled by the (openly fascist) US government through funding, large corporations in the private sector required little if any incentive to adopt Trump's authoritarian "anti-DEI" policies; indeed, companies like Walmart, Paramount, and even Victoria's Secret practically fell all over themselves to align with the regime's agenda, essentially obeying in advance, before the administration had to apply any pressure at all. Why would they do that? As this short essay in The Guardian lays bare, the truth is that they never really wanted to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion even before the rise of Trump - which is why the programs they installed after the twin motivating factors of the George Floyd protests against police violence, and the COVID pandemic, were never really designed to achieve those objectives in the first place.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/06/diversity-equity-business-trump-history" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/06/diversity-equity-business-trump-history</a>American corporations didn’t want to diversify, anyway"Within days of taking office, Donald Trump signed an executive order that would eliminate Johnson’s civil rights order. The order directed the office of federal contract compliance to stop “promoting diversity” and holding contractors responsible for “affirmative action”. To Smith, the administration’s early actions amount to “a blatant effort in order to not only uphold the white power structure, but to remove any government responsibility to uphold the rights of individuals of color, specifically Black people”. It is the fruit of a conservative movement that has been trying to reverse course ever since the government began taking seriously efforts to protect the rights of Americans regardless of race, sex, religion or national origin.In 2020, hundreds of private companies pledged to change their culture – to use their power and influence and, most importantly, money, to re-shape American society toward more just ends. Now, the three largest employers in the nation – Walmart, Amazon, and the federal government – have all rolled those policies back. Dozens of other corporations have turned back the clock on even pretending to care about equality in the workplace as well.To businesses’ credit, they had a difficult task ahead of them in 2020. “They’re faced with putting a policy in place quickly that’s responsive and doesn’t sound like lip service to frustrated people,” Dawkins said. But in doing so, they made an admission: they had not been taking diversity seriously before – and the capitulation to the administration’s demands since has betrayed that truth. And they made clear their efforts were always lip service."Look, I don't think it's really news that much of the American private sector's DEI initiatives were motivated more by *appearing* to oppose white supremacy and enforced social hierarchies in an increasingly Christian Nationalist political environment, than actually opposing those problems. This was pointed out long before Trump's second term, and obviously their actions since the regime was installed have demonstrated that critics were right to question the commitment of American corporations that directly profit from a white supremacist order that marks out certain groups of people for brutal exploitation. In that context then, it's important to understand that we are in fact not "all in this together" and a corporate sector that gladly donated to Trump's election campaigns must be understood as *active* partners in the installation of a Christian Nationalist dictatorship in America. The fact that they did so because they think it'll improve their bottom line is largely irrelevant; fascist collaboration is still fascist collaboration, regardless of the motives that inspire it.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Walmart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Walmart</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Paramount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paramount</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteSupremacy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BLM</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ObeyingInAdvance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ObeyingInAdvance</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pandemic</a>
