@@charliebarton my grandfather was a granite/marble quarryman in Vermont during this time. These labor/union strikes went on there many times, the one he was involved in was in the early 20's, when he was still a teenager. He was a worker brought in to replace those on strike. He told me that it was a fight to get in and another fight to get out of work. Physical fights against the police couldn't always tell who was in which group and some police supported the striking workers. So, they were beating everyone. Lost all his teeth before he was 20, wore dentures the rest of his life. He had a dislike for policemen too. He went on to make a nice life for himself after that. Becoming a quarry owner and having a monument business. Flew his own plane, my mother had her own plane before she could drive a car! I have his US citizenship document that was issued on the day my mom was born, Sept. 6th 1931. Retired at age 50 and had a pile of cash stored in ammo boxes in the basement. This I only know because my uncle's were talking about it after my mothers passing. It was the first time in years our families were all together. They talked about "smelling the money at Christmas". Grandpa would give out envelopes of 100'$ to his 4 children and all of us grandkids.

1 million young men were killed during WW I on one battle front alone. I toured the region what is now Austria, Italy, and Slovenia and walked through the still existing trenches from WW I. Soldiers on both sides were dug into trenches protected by machine guns. Waves of foot soldiers were ordered to charge well fortified positions in high ground and were mowed down by machine guns. This went on for months. These foot soldiers were indoctrinated to die for their countries. They did so without question. In the end, the powers of Italy and Austria/Hungary decided to stop the slaughter without any explanation or declaring victory or defeat.

There was a great deal of opposition to the American entry into the Great War by many elements in America. Some were against foreign entanglement, some were adherents to the concept of Republican government antithetical to imperialist motives of European powers, some for ethnic perspectives, Irish, Welsh, German. Others in opposition to New York Banks. Wilson crushed labor, revoked second class postage for labor unions (meaning they could not mail magazines, leaflets, or newspapers), subjected the first class mail of labor unions to censorship. Many labor agitators were jailed or declared insane and institutionalized. Committees of Public Safety ran rampant, enforcing vagrancy laws in many situations to obtain free labor or to steal the possessions of the "vagrants".. A person had to possess at least a dollar to not be a vagrant. My grandfather wore a silver dollar around his neck as a teenager and young man to prove he was not. It saved him from jail or worse many a time. (Though being white and having uncles who were Grand Army of the Republic veterans and members of the Masonic Lodge, and so knowing the secret handshakes greatly helped too.) A bounty was placed on IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) members, the Wobblies, who were hunted down, hung, and castrated as a matter of course. Anyone opposed was termed a traitor or a bolshevist.

The last sighting of the poster being in the 1980's. Mildly put, he was bitterly hated by railroad workers. He crushed the unions, revoked their second class mail privileges, had their private correspondence via first class mail opened and read and used as evidence, and fostered brutal working conditions when the Railroads were nationalized. The railroads were unable to handle the war production and private capital was not going to spend the money to upgrade equipment and railroad structure and traffic and signal control to handle the freight volume.

TL:DR What you describe as Utopia is actually DYSTOPIA With due respect, this is utterly unworkable without an enforcement mechanism that makes sure that money does not corrupt, and essentially instates a ministry of corruption to be free of corruption and not become corrupt itself and abusive of rights along the way, like a boiling frog. Therefore what is required is a mechanism for holding powerful institutions to account, but that also requires an informed citizenry and a system change that does not equate money with free speech, a kind of inflated money supply far outstripping resources with access to riches that have yet to translate in sustainable growth within a fiat endlessly printed paper currency death machine. What you describe sounds a lot like a centralized power structure where access to open info and free speech is predicated on centralized city portals. This is beyond dangerous as history of centralized power and internet censorship and reprisals show e.g Julian Assange. As to the idea of super conglomerate or handful of monopolies “doing the work to serve the most so that no one is in the least of poverty” that too centralized power and game theory suggests the likely outcome is something akin to the Weyland Yutani mega corporation that enslaved large swaths of the galaxy in the Alien series, to use an example in popular culture that reflects our corporate reality. History shows the main issue is centralized power and the kind of money needed to buy off people.
