Important concessions were won from the ruling capitalists like the right to organize unions, the massive industrial union organizing drives, anti-lynching laws, child labor laws, social security, aid for dependent children, free public education through high school, civil rights laws, and a lot more. The Struggle Against Capitalism Continues We may win some battles for justice and our rights against the rich and powerful capitalists. But as long as they can dominate society in the workplace, control the politicians and the state security structure, and the airwaves, they will continue to exploit us and reap huge profits from the labor of workers. Every victory under capitalism is partial and temporary. The logic of greed of capitalism will always try to extract more from workers.
Battles won by workers yesterday have to be fought for again today.
The public education system is crumbling. Health care is not available to over 40 million Americans. One look at the problems in capitalist America today tells us that capitalism has not been able to provide for the needs of our people. Huge layoffs, unemployment, homelessness, hunger are everywhere. The response to this huge social crisis by the capitalist government is to further make workers pay for capitalism's crisis.
