Ardent Communist posted:unions got hosed when they made them legal, because as conditions for making it legal they made them toothless, and made them financially solvent at the cost of alienating dumb workers who don't want to join unions by making them pay. i think they were co-opted first because unions can't really be made toothless by law unless lovely leadership is allowing it

Axes are far more portable, and what do we care about giving capitalists a quick and relatively painless death. The French could be more reasonable since capitalism was still relatively new, and they hadn't been subjected to years and years of capitalists ruining their lives and their world. EDIT: I didn't anticipate the quick posting, it would have been more meaningful if this was the post directly after the other one.

True, but the spectacle of wheeling out the big ol' guillotine has something pretty nice to it. Its a public event, bring the kids!

For better or worse, they are incredibly democratic organizations. So if you find yourself at odds with the unions, I think it's a fair assumption that you may find yourself at odds with the workers. I'm not saying they don't support the Liberals or that they're not risk averse, just that they are so because their members are.

The quick and painless death wasn't the point of the guillotine, the efficiency and ability for a high throughput of bourgeois was the point. Sure you can hire an executioner to lift and drop an axe a bunch of times, but that's gonna get tiring. So just manufacture a machine that optimizes the process and saves the executioner's arms.

What could be the difference between local union boards and national ones? " There hasn't been a single time where union leadership was less radical than many of their workers" You, apparently.

Most of my union's execs have the #RealChange red shirts/JT selfie as Facebook profile photos. It's a disgrace in light of their plans for targeted benefits pensions, Phoenix, climate policies, and collective bargaining. My way experience at last year's federal NDP convention further molded my aversion to union centrist bullshit.

remember that time the Ontario teacher's union helped re-elect Kathleen Wynne's Liberal government with millions of dollars worth of third party advertising? also remember how they were rewarded for it in the subsequent election cycle with a Liberal reelection campaign that demonized unions and workers? (not that grade school teachers give a gently caress about striking TAs, but still, lol)

So if you find yourself at odds with the unions, I think it's a fair assumption that you may find yourself at odds with the workers. Yes, and that risk aversion is much more consequential than the rudderless centrism of the NDP. If the labour unions actually used their resources more effectively they could more than match the current resources of the conservative movement.
