Work camps. That’s the new labor.

Ok now you're changing the context for "labor".

That’s their goal.

So the goal of the labor movement, which was and is made up of workers, making unions and fighting for worker's rights, who have a vested interest in not being sent to labor camps, are the ones who are... Trying to put people in labor camps? But also doing too little too late, as of 2017?

No, not the goal of Labor, the goal of the ruling class. I’m saying Labor movements are too little too late.
