More of my fellow Americans should read up on the IWW. Which was far more serious about workplace democracy than those relatively right wing, corporate-friendly unions that the US promoted. > But it seems odd that you define talking about something "effectively" and not being challenged on your opinions. The US is pretty fundamentalist: over 40% believe God created humanity 10,000 years ago [1] and many have disturbing beliefs about the "invisible hand" (of divine providence, of course), which they try to impose on others. So when people try to talk about these things, highly motivated fundamentalists clog the discussion with dogma, when they numerically dominate. These two forms of fundamentalism are strongly linked. ("Debt: the First 5000 Years" discusses this.) [1] http://www.gallup.com/poll/170822/believe-creationist-view-human-origins.aspx http://www.gallup.com/poll/170822/believe-creationist-view-h...
