I also love this notion that the conditions got better because of capitalism. This shows such profound ignorance of history. Pretty much all the concessions workers got were won through militant organization of workers and the threat of USSR.
Nobody remembers that rights were payed in blood. Literally nobody. Everyone thinks that at some point in history we suddenly obtained them or something.
And the fact that those rights were fought by the left is even more forgoten…

Yeah, people really need to learn how all these rights we enjoy today were won.
Things like the 8 hour work day?
