Strikes Don't Works

What you think about strikes? When you won something making a strike? Do the Unions really fight with you? Maybe the Marx's dream has died and nobody is honest enough to preside a state with social concerns. This is the great mystery of the 21th century and the answers will change everything that we know.
In this days of war, when every television in the world watch the Iraq's resistance-forces and the US elections, nobody are looking for the proletariat, neither himself. Maybe the Marx dream has died, but probably it aren't and this long silence after the fall of the big wall are just a little nap.
I don't believe in these modern kind of Union that sows the seeds of the strikes for agreements that don't alter the work conditions. You can see that studying a little bit of history, the Ford system works, yet. The unemployment grow in every country in the world, but nobody do anything to change it, neither the labor force.
I'm not Marxist and don't believe in a state honest enough to build a Utopian community, but I can't accept this modern world and don't do anything to improve it. And you? What are you making to change your community?
The strikes attacks don't works today. The manager of the enterprise turn on him television and say: "So stupid!", and call to the union presidency to donate something to him family. You ask me: "And the workers?", well the manager will answer: "Give to they more fifty cents." and end of the history.
When you go to do a strike, what you think about it? When you won something that really cares? Sorry, but you never won, because every time that your wage increases is a sign that everything else increases two times more than that.
The solution? I don't know, maybe nobody knows. But I believe that is the great idea who will grown until the end of this century, based on Marx's and Morus' ideas, and everything else will change again.
