The power to compel others is dangerous.
- Retric 4y agoHaving zero power is vastly more dangerous.
- wolrah 4y ago> The power to compel others is dangerous. When one side already has massive power, it takes massive power to balance it. It is very rare that an individual will ever have the ability to stand up to a multi-billion dollar company on their own, so they need a powerful union who can actually legitimately threaten that company to be able to keep the company in check. Either that or the companies need to have their own power strongly curtailed, which can only be done by a powerful government. Pick your poison.
