Just as how gentile did
Hitler definitely did not even plan for doing this
That’s because it would be a mistake. If the Corporation controls the trade union. Then what’s the point?
I think Mussolini did it
I don't know enough about the theory to talk about it much further
Yeah Mussolini did do something along those lines, but I think it was wrong
The Nation should control Unions
To make sure companies are made accountable
How about instead the workers themselves run the companies
Like a cooperative
These are very difficult to start up
Yes, in a capitalist society
Considering the workers don't have the capital that a bourgeois would
Usually investors invest in shares to start a company
Are you familiar with Anarcho syndicalism?
You may be more sympathetic to national syndicalism
The workers don’t have the Capital to create a business from scratch
Yes, due to living under the capitalist system in which it forced you to
I don’t like Syndicalism
The last thing I would want is a Union running government
Where I live Unions have a history of corruption
Much more than government ever did
Yeah, unions have become more corrupt
Mostly due to government infiltration
The Industrial Workers of the World hasn't been corrupted, luckily
I don’t think corruption is a measure of government
Corruption can also be a measure of class infiltration too
Such as letting your boss into the union
I think that the Workers of the World have been corrupted by a multitude of factors
Less so by unions, and more so by society itself
The IWW’s structure makes it a lot more difficult to be infiltrated, though feds can join and go to the meetings it’s comical that they would be able to take it over like a political party
Though it’s a serious issue, the feds struggle to take over unions in the same way, and it’s a lot easier for them to be discredited rather than hijacked
True. In the modern age less and less people join unions
They rely on government for the support that unions would have given 50 years ago
Unions first started out where a bunch of workers in the factory would band together and all strike on the same day
Yeah
Other factory workplaces would get involved too
Soon, to survive in a capitalists system, you now need to pay to join the union
And they would Poole their money to create an organisation
