Dominance Games / Politics
The conundrum of envy for the rights of a union wage without the choice understanding that such competition may in rational mode raise all boats of pay and prey and that diminishing same cuts some very effective tools for any competitive edge for workers to obtain….. silly lessons from the bloody dirty past.
Put upon unions like all good organizations, businesses, governments and loud mouths may also become power hungry, corrupt, ravenous and obnoxious …. but fundamental truth still remains …. they are the last best firewall against the serfdom so many seem to crave.
Capital needs its flexibility … to own workers, their lives, their privacy, their habits, their futures. The trust in these benign forces who seek interests other than their own is the fantasy of those of certain persuasions … the rising tide that raises all boats of capital does so only if all boats are not dammed off in rotten cesspools. Battles won by an awful lot of sainted forbearers in the America of poetry charmed by those who wish to have the poetry of happy paternalism and trust in their good offices are battles lost, diminished, negated, forgotten.
Since the wise trust none ….. the distrust of all is as sane as the distrust of the poor, poor, laborer who depends upon those who move our mountains…… none of which just know how to manipulate money and systems and things.
As in many things…there are always the pendulum shifts …… gorging labor ain’t no damn good….. killers of capital capital killing humbles us in our praise of the ruthless of old. Lets all stand with them.
