That's true that they did at those times. I don't think that at this point there will be any concessions to workers for a few reasons, but mainly because at the time you're talking about capital was operating under the Kenyesian model which it took on to adapt to the economic crisis of the Great Depression in addition to donestic labor movements and the existence of the USSR.

Now the combination of neoliberal ideology and the fall of the USSR making them believe in the end of history, i don't think we'll ever see concessions again

You are absolutely correct but I don't think that's necessarily a reason to not vote or support third parties anymore. If anything, there's an even greater need for us to count our numbers now.

I think voting where and how it could be effective makes sense, particularly at the local level. National politics i don't think can meaningfully be affected by us at this moment, but i wouldn't tell anyone to not vote

No of course not, but there is value in counting our forces.
