Unions aren't bad on principle, but the current iteration of unions needs to be dismantled by Luigiists as much as the corporations do. The two are symbiotic parasites extracting wealth from the people. - kuteboiCoder repeated this.

@Hoss @WilhelmIII @DemonSixOne @PraxisOfEvil unions always attract the same sort of petty tyrant managers HoAs do, but they're even worse because you cant leverage the other board members to oust a shitty leader. all employee negotiation is done thru the rep so the business owner can just buy them off and then you're worse off than if you didnt have a union at all. kuteboiCoder likes this. -

@Hoss @Nudhul @WilhelmIII @DemonSixOne @PraxisOfEvil The only unions I've seen really work out for their employees, are the ones that truly indispensable work groups. The kind that can genuinely cripple an economy if they decided to fuck off from work. The kind that the government has to pass laws to curtail their power to go on strike (because they learned that sending in soldiers and mercenaries to stop strikes is bad optics). These are unions representing dockworkers, commercial pilots, flight attendants, and railroad workers usually. The kind of people that can't easily be replaced by Chang, Pancho, nor Pajeet; whether at home or abroad. -

Unions are a viable counterbalance to corporate power when they're treated as equivalent private organizations of individuals to the corporation and neither party is given special privileges or protections. Nobody should be forced to join a union to hold a job, the union can and should provide tangible benefits to its members that encourage voluntary membership. The only exception is the public sector, unions should be explicitly outlawed in all sectors government employment because it doesn't work in the same self-contained economic unit that a corporation does. -

@KuteboiCoder @PraxisOfEvil @Hoss @DemonSixOne @WilhelmIII still preferrable in some ways to a *legitimate* government that pretends it doesnt do everything the mafia does. at least with a local cartel you can speak to the boss yourself kuteboiCoder likes this. -

Steve Jobs was not based. He was a turbo douche who never once accepted that he was wrong in his entire life, which lead to his rare treatable pancreatic cancer killing him. And when he realized he doomed himself, he still couldn't take the L like a man, he had to take a liver from somebody who could've actually been saved by it just to die anyway. kuteboiCoder likes this. -

Communists made some accurate observations about the unbalanced relationship between labor and capital, but they're otherwise completely retarded.

@Hoss @WilhelmIII @DemonSixOne @PraxisOfEvil @Nudhul I don't think anyone in a vacuum would have an issue with completely voluntary union membership and participation but you're on your own if you refuse to join, (although still protected by labor laws, ofc). The idea that you can just be able to freeload off an agreement that the union and by extension its members fought to get cannot in good faith be seen as anything other than an attack on the ability of the unions to negotiate for better conditions, hence "right to work" laws are essentially attempts to bust up unions.
Although, all this being said, unions are not a good replacement for actually moral labor laws. A loosely connected group of workers are no match for the combined forces of state and capital. And traditional trade guilds often forced their way into a seat at the table of power, because institutional power and not concessions are how you maintain what is rightfully owed to you. -

@wgiwf @Hoss @Nudhul @DemonSixOne @PraxisOfEvil @WilhelmIII You’re making me like Communism. Communism is just built on an incorrect model of how humans work. Otherwise I’d say this all sounds like grifting nonsense and the workers should just own the shops.

@Hoss @WilhelmIII @DemonSixOne @PraxisOfEvil @Nudhul The problem with "right to work" legislation is allowing non-due paying workers in a union shop to get the benefits and leverage that the union provides without contributing.
Really, among the main reasons why unions in the US are as bad as they are in comparison to other places is at times criminal nature of the relationship between labor and management that in the union's place often ends up in a sort of protection racket, little different from the mafia in many regards—think about the whole situation with Jimmy Hoffa, instead of a legitimate alternative labor/economics political faction. Management is so scummy that the unions have to just as dirty to keep up with them. -

Marx is right only circumstantially, wrong when laborers and small-time landlords are both loyal to the country.
A culture of disloyalty is precisely what Marx et al hoped for. It is wishful thinking. -

I'm gonna stir the pot a little more and say that #ColdWar #anticommunism was too faith-based. Vietnamese #Catholics were indeed weaponized by imperialism exactly the same way as #Muslim radicals in #Afghanistan.
No reason to romanticize the former and handwave the latter as "well that's just politics" -

The #ColdWar really put our discourse through the ringer. Fuckin gooks and slavs aren't unskilled labor forming ghettoes; they "fled dictatorship" for "freedom and a better life".
It's also part of the reason why we're saddled with #NationOfImmigrants speechifying and #antifa fedposting in normie spaces. -

The #JohnBirchSociety knew exactly ((( who ))) did the mass killings in Russia and the Soviet Union. The ((( Masonic elites ))) knew they knew; but as long as they were hush-hush about that part, then they could be junior-partners in the global anticommunist struggle.
It's all subversion, all the way down. -

Yes, that's pretty much right. You can extend a fair bit of correctness to Marxist critique of the Capitalist system and various inputs and outputs it provides. But like the Capitalists, and all liberal derived forms of thought really, they take the "rational actor" as a given when holistic group dynamics explain human behavior much better.
