That and collective withholding of the labor power of the working class (strikes) are the only 2 ways any national ruling class has ever been meaningfully opposed. Take your pick and do everything you can to make it happen first.
>We like to point the finger here in the US about how corrupt Russia, Ukraine or any other country is but we’re no Saints.
Our finger-pointing is not due to coincidence; it's due to conflict. Specifically, the conflict is between the inherent interests of competing national ruling classes.
>The executives of these companies should have their addresses listed as well as all the politicians on the take and let the people do with them what they will.
The executives of these companies answer to the company owners (corporate boards) who collectively control the state by leverage of capital. Because we are a capitalist society, the owners of the capital have the power. Any apparent exceptions will always be withheld from accumulating meaningful influence, short of revolution by the working class.
In other words, this is not a matter of faulty policy. It is a conflict of power. Let's discuss it as such.
NZ has never had a left wing government. NZ's government is neoliberal, which is not left wing in any way. Neoliberalism is in all actuality right wing.
Utter nonsense. If nurses didn't previously expect decent work conditions, what on Earth motivated them to unionize? Your comment is just total garbage all the way through.
