Yeah it's some business owner shutting down a union
Like, unironically. Fascists are extremely anti-union.
There's obviously a lot more to it, and this is a relatively minor example even after Elon made paid accounts have more visibility, but this is very much one of their things.
The Nazis and Soviets did the same thing about unions. Picked unions that had a lot of their backers in them and backed those, then once elected they created state ran unions and banned all others.
for the fascist please refer to my previous comment, for the Communists, the Bolsheviks didn't have much to do with the small and numerous Russian unions (Russia had a very beurocratically decentralized industry at that point in time) and later fought against them as they mostly joined the white Russian faction (the bolsheviks being backed by the Entente), and ironically the term Tankie comes from an event where the soviet unions crushed mainly union uprisings against the soviets in Hungary, with tanks, because the soviets also couldn't stand unions (like ever fascist ever)
please stop repeating American Cold War era misinformation.
Source for this? Everything I find contradicts that, but most of those are Marxist sources.
You mean central powers
I clearly stated they opposed unions not reporting to the state. Also the Hungarian revolution was a bit more than a strike. Both the Nazis and the Soviets constructed unions that were organs of the state.
