    In a capitalist pseudo-democracy where corporations are people with unlimited free speech and the richer candidates win the election 95% of the time, yes. https://capitolhillcitizen.com

    If we had a true democracy of worker cooperatives, the workers would be the bosses and wealth would be distributed more equally. https://www.democracyatwork.info/

    Teachers unions, logistics unions, the trades, librarians, nurses, the service industry–these are true unions that serve the community and contribute constructive benefits that improve the lives of many. The military, FD, PD, and carceral organizations put people down and surveil and jail them. It is not right to collectivize what harms the community. They don’t need the help anyway. They have the biggest budgets, intergovernmental reinforcements, and all the weapons and walls on their side.
