    …replacing fair work for fair pay…

    Is it fair pay though? Ofc nobody wants a tyrant. but we should have unions fighting for the rights of workers in all spaces, shouldn’t we? Just a thought. (Assuming they’re not employer-controlled ofc)

      Even in a right to work for less state, it’s easier to negotiate with employers for fair pay than it is to do so in a communist society. Communist societies may generally be more equal, but they’re equal at a far lower level of income, and in reality it just means trapping everyone at the subsistence level of work drudgery instead of offering many a way to gain greater affluence.

        You don’t need to be a communist society to have unions tho. Negotiating with a tyrant owned business like Amazon is still very hard.

          Yes, that’s my point. In fact, real unions die under communism and come to represent the party rather than the workers.

            Then we’re on exactly the same page.
            I believe you assumed I’m arguing from a communist perspective, however I’m not.
