    In Britain, the Labour government deployed troops in at least 18 industrial disputes between 1945 and 1951 (Ellen, 1984). In Australia, the army was used to break a national coal strike that same year (Deery, 1995). In France, a centrist coalition government that included the [so-called] Socialist Party twice resorted to large-scale military and police repression during nationwide strikes in 1947 and 1948, including the occupation of mining regions and mass arrests of workers (Mencherini, 1998).

      Did “democratic” Liberals decide that they need military coercion and terrorism against any protestors who demands meritocracy and accountability? At least it is one more prove the claim by Chinese government that are defending the peaceful protesting against armed terrorist group in the 1989 Tian’ammen Square massacre.

      How could I believe in fake news from Western media oligarchy about government repression by successful countries of people of color when the Western media oligarchy practice the same repression themselves? They can claim that government oppression by Pax Americana is better than other governments, but this claim depends on the creditability of Pax Americana itself. If they are serious about their Liberal doctrine, then they should fire the workers if they had other potential workers as replacements. If they lack other prospective candidates, then the workers has bargaining power of the free market and they need to negotiate with the workers for better compensation or good working condition.
