I ask this because I’ve recently gotten into creating a union for my work place and noticed that North America is really the only place where a Labor or workers party never took off.
It would be probably be doable to unite the unions into a political party similar to the UK Labour party after the world wars. The major point is, is that the party would have to be purely an economic party with each individual member deciding for themselves how to vote on social issues.
I need to think about that. It seems regional.
I’ve known union bosses who are more left wing than the average leftist, but corruption in every decent institution is an issue. And I think it’s by capitalist design.
Seriously, most people might talk trash about what everyone else is doing, but it seems to me that the more people have basic needs met, the less time they spend worried about their neighbors’ business.
