People need to join forces to battle corrupt tax policy or corrupt laws that benefit one politician or businessman at the expense of a whole county's or even country's worth of taxpayers.
People need to join forces to organise labour unions to have any equal negotiating power against their employer.
People not being allowed to organise is the wet dream of corrupt autocratic politicians and business owners around the world (which is also why China or Russia have such tight controls and surveillance over their respective messaging app ecosystems).
- EGreg 5y agoEverything you mentioned can be described as “people need to join forces to battle other people who have previously joined forces”. Do you see the issue here? It just escalates further. “Russia” and “China” are entire countries with massively centralized governments and decision making. At that point your best bet is to decentralize decision making to “democracy” — good luck w that.
