Unions don't owe their existence to labor laws. Rather, labor laws exist because once-illegal unions were formed in the teeth of violent suppression, and those unions demanded - and got - labor law. - eviltoast

    Depends. If people keep showing up for work, even though they’re functionally serfs again, because they’re too scared of losing their job or getting the shit kicked out of them for trying to organize a union, then they will get to make us serfs again.

    You are completely right about social democracy, and I also hope and believe that your outcome is the alternative. But it’s not the only alternative.
