⚙️ Tata's "World-Class" Dream Shaken

🏗️ MediaFx Marxist Perspective

This tragedy isn’t just about an airline—it lays bare how corporate control and profit-first mentalities compromise working-class safety. Despite Tata’s compensation promise, private ownership drove cost-cutting that likely degraded maintenance. Aviation workers, students, hostel residents—all working-class folks—paid the ultimate price for corporate negligence.India’s aviation sector must ditch privatized profiteering and demand socialist oversight, worker-led maintenance committees, and public accountability to ensure public safety. Real change comes when we fight for people over profit. ✊
