Hence, before the dictatorship begins. As evidenced by the Walker legislature, for example - as well as the intentions of the Republican party, they want to take us back to the time before Pinkerton was a rent-a-cop division of Securitas.

Just a sidebar, but Pinkerton went “legit” on strikebreaking long before Securitas bought them 12-13 years ago. I spent almost eight years working for them as a guard (from 1995 to 2003) and even then, they were thoroughly corporatized and had been for a long time. Needless to say, the official corporate history whitewashed (or just left out) things that reflected bad on the company, such as the Homestead Strike (which saw plenty of brutality from both sides).
