"Union thugs.

Union fascists.

Unions = communism

Why do people think like that? I think the main problem is conservatives are very simple-minded. It appears to me that conservatives have done a through inventory of themselves

A union is not inherently communist. A defination of union is "•an organization of employees formed to bargain with the employer". That is all the union is. Most union shops supports a regulated, market economy. A market economy is "•an economy that relies chiefly on market forces to allocate goods and resources and to determine prices". Communism means "•a form of socialism that abolishes private ownership
"/

Most unions believe that the wealthy have the right to have private ownership of land, capitial, and real estate. Unions are formed to be internal control aganist the excesses of wealthy in society. An internal control is defined as "designed to promote efficiency or assure the implementation of a policy or safeguard assets or avoid fraud and error etc". Excessive wealth actually harms the ability for market-based economy to work efficiently and therefore, when unchecked results in ineffiencies and slows the economy growth to halt.


Therefore, this guy is wrong and is a moron. He has no basis for his arguement.
