Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?

The Nazis came after the communists and trade unionists before they came for the Jews. At least according to the original version of “first they came”.
There’s a specific order to how rights can be established. Workers’ rights are dismantled before minority rights, and minority rights are to be protected before workers’ rights can be protected.

I don’t know what is “first they came” . Is that some old book?
In all cases. I’m not talking about abandoning this issue, be my guess campaign on LGBT rights.
What I’m saying this is not important to 90% of Americans and people should campaign on important things instead

The fascists already went for the communists and won, and took out the unions too. Now they’re going for the trans people. You have to put a strong effort on defence if you want to get to a position where people can afford to go on offence. You won’t gain ground by giving it up.

It’s such a haunting poem. It is engraved into a monument in my childhood hometown.
