In the 1930's, the working class seems very powerful. But again, it will be defeated. In Spain, Franco, in Germany, Hitler, in Italy, Mussolini, enslave Europe and the workers become pawns to do the dirty work. After the war, the Soviet block deprive workers of trade unions and the right to strike, while claiming to represent them.
