Unions aren't an alternative to corporations. They're a balance for it.
This sounds like "Instead of creating a 'Legislature', let's just disperse the power of the 'Executive'." Yeah, how do you plan to do that, without a balance?
- clairity 6y agoexactly, they counterbalance. you can either have huge weights balancing each other or small ones. it’s better then to have small ones because power corrupts. it’s why we share power among 3 branches, 50 states and myriad local jurisdictions. civilizations are more resilient against small corruptions of power than large ones. we do it by rolling back the advantages businesses have amassed over the last half century (or providing residents with all of the same advantages). we institute transparency in labor markets, nullify tax advantages and liability shields, equalize the political voice of the populace, hold companies accountable for (excessive) risk-taking, and rectify thousands, maybe millions, more such injustices. is it that hard to imagine?
