this mf hasn't heard of the AFL-CIO or 90% of American unions. This stuff is more pertinent to today than ever. They aren't propagandized, they're captured. The US government basically replaced all union leadership in the US with their own agents a while back (either through pressure on unions or literal agents (I'm guess on this part)) and they expelled the communists. The US has probably used labor unions more for counter-revolution than they've ever been used for revolution itself. downvote downvote downvote. We're not talking about just rank-and-file union members here. I mean look at the Culinary Union leadership's opposition to Sanders while the membership seemed to be for him. That's a clear disconnect between the rank-and-file and the leadership.
