Workers burn boss to death

Workers burn boss to death in India. The police say that the workers are quite open about admitting what they did.

The proximate reasons for these murders (of the boss and his wife) are given as:

  • Police have reported the situation escalated when management asked some workers to leave their accommodation
  • The bosses had allegedly taken church land
  • The bosses were also accused of being rude, especially to the women
  • One female worker said that They deserved to be killed as the planter has exploited us for a long time and tortured us for petty things.

Once again, the women lead the way in fighting back against oppression that is sexual and economic. This was also the case in the French and Russian Revolutions. Even the birth of the Roman Republic was said to originate in the backlash by the Roman populace against the sexual abuse by the Etuscan rulers.

What amazes me is how unafraid the workers are of the police. The workers were freely admitting what they had done. The instruments of state oppression are clearly not working to protect the scum of the Capitalist class.
