First you have wrong idea. Strikes arent the only aspect of worker rights. Soviet workers had rights like 40 hour work week, free healthcare, education, pensions, housing. USSR was already ruled by soviets i.e. worker council so they didnt need strikes. This stems from the fact that workers had real control on policy of the state and elections that were held altho only party put up candidates one could vote no to them and the candidate will be replaced, those candidates then went to supreme soviets and had real affect on policy (unlike the current western liberal democracy which leads to policies that benefits the rich). The turnouts in those elections used to be exceptionally high.
Under DoTP you dont need strikes in the modern sense because revolution has brought pro worker changes, sure there could be different perspectives regarding this and stuff could be done differently in future ML revolutions. As I said however strikes arent the only measure of worker rights. If you see yourself you would agree workers in USSR had better rights than workers even do today. After collapse of USSR, in all SSRs poverty increased, savings ended, unemployment skyrocket, life expectancy declined, income inequality increased, ethnic conflicts, oligarchic state capture, etc.
Worker rights in USSR were way better than what former SSRs have today. I am not defending USSR in bad faith, USSR had some important contribution to socialist development and it was just the first one, we learn and build better next time.
Edit: Not ban evasion because ban was from different instance, not community :D
I can understand the fatigue linked to the overexposure to that book but at the same time it's a work of psychology not just politics. It explores how loneliness, fear, and the need for belonging can make a person betray their own senses.
So again while I understand it's annoying to always have to see that book mentioned, saying it's useless is a very bold statement.

Oh hey, it's the "Soviet Union had the best workers' rights" fella
Edit: seems that they're also very keen on Uyghur genocide denial, glad I blocked them before engaging in more arguments
Tolc@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 156d
Oh yes it definitely had, am I missing something?
rockerface@lemmy.cafe · 1 pts · 156d
I mean, there's the part where worker strikes were illegal until 80s, to start with. And the one-party government with pre-approved candidates.
Edit: ah, 1 day old "Marxist Leninist" account specifically made to defend the Soviets in bad faith. Totally not ban evasion, eh?

Yeah buddy, you clearly need to read some more theory. And also maybe touch grass while you're at it.

At least that's how I remember the book.

I'm not your bro, buddeh. (Firstly, because I am non-binary and secondly tankies aren't comrades.)

I am not an anarchist. I am a Eurocom.

What's a eurocom? Never heard of that before
TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org · 4 pts · 158d
Eurocommunist, kind of a variant of democratic socialist.
astropenguin5@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 156d
Ah gotcha
Tolc@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 156d
There is nothing communist about democratic socialism, literally nothing

Aww cute. A ML thinks they know what communism is when ML state always did the opposite of communism always moved further and further away from it.

Also with this comment I bet I find authoritarian comments in your post history.

"I don't like it so it's okay that it got banned."
Banning books is the act of sniveling fascists and if you support that or are indifferent to it, I have some bad news for you.
