    Unions are only the best if you believe there's good points about capitalism.

    They are a bandaid solution to some of the more extreme problems with capitalism.

    A better model is worker ownership.

      Workers form unions because they want to fight capital, not because they somehow have an options to control a cooperative, but refused it because they love capital.

        We're all complicit when we say that Unions are great, if we're not couching it with a worker ownership is better

    the only real way to get ahead isn’t by working harder or out-competing your co-workers

    That's a lie.

    The only real way to get ahead is to inherit.
