Organized Labor cannot exist in a Communist country.

Never has. Never will.




Organized Labor thrives in a Liberal Democracy.






Lovers of Democracy do not purchase goods & services that are made in a Communist country.

That would be like giving aid to an enemy of Democracy & freedom.





Happy 4th of July America.


Time to get your freedom on!

Oh shit here comes a fire. have you bought any fire insurance? No? then fuck you!.
I want to drive but I don't want to spend money on roads.
i want to hire a person who can read but I don't want to spend money on schools.
I want security at home but why should I spend money on police.
I want my nation to be defended, but why should I spent to pay for soldiers?
I want my saving to be secure but I don't want the government to regulate, governments cost money.
I want, I want, I want.

Happy 4th!

Tell that to Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch - all of whom have grown richer moving your money from one place to another, whilst the world's financial system collapsed.
You fucking moron!

ok i have a part time job at local McDonalds and one of my coworkers tried to start a union.

He wanted us to join industrial Workers of the World. I looked at the brochures he brought and they sound pretty communist to me

someone ratted him out to management - i know who it was and he was bucking for shift manager

he was not fired or anything they just made him shift manager and he just gave up on the whole union thing funny huh

anyway i am a little confused about the whole unions and communism thing please elaborate

There is no connection between Communism and Organized Labor.


Modern Organized Labor contracts thrive in a Liberal Democracy.


Organized Labor is outlawed in every Communist country that exists today.


Great question.



Good luck with your job Kayla!

Shouldn't you be more concerned that union power is restricted in capitalist countries whereas capitals power is allowed free-rein.

Why keep waffling about communist countries? Especially since there are very few and the main ones are allowing capital free-rein, hence all your manufacturing companies are now in them. It looks like Capitalism does not need liberal democracy.

You certainly do make a strong case for communism.

my coworker says that cuba china and North korea have independent unions and anything to the contrary is propaganda.

Why should I believe you instead of him?

Tell your friend that they are wrong.


Their are no independent, legally recognized, Organized Labor unions in any existing Communist country today.



Independent, legally recognized Organized Labor agreements thrive in a Liberal Democracy.




...didn't we go over this about 6 months ago?
