        that’s not remotely true. The union movement is quite robust and actively serves a real need. The only thing that could actually kill the union movement would be a fully communist society and unions subsequently becoming redundant

          Sorry if this is a stupid question.

          What do we do about goverments simply shutting them down? In my country the rail workers needed to strike, and then congress said no.

          The only thing that communists hate more than the West is the idea that people can obey a higher power than the state. Is it really much of a shock?

            It is not a shock whatsoever. Religion isn’t called the Opiods of the masses because it serves no purpose. Surgery before Opiod derived medicines was insanely painful, and Opoids completely changed that and revolutionized surgical practices. While at the same time destroying countless lifes due to its addictive qualities. The analogy isnt dismissing the power of Religion or God. More so contextualizing its place in society and trying to find a healthy relationship in stead of a toxic one.
