Oh God, oh shit, I said I wasn't going to do it. I said I wasn't going to start a China struggle session. Already getting flashbacks to the Discord.
But something just doesn't sit right with me and wanted to get some clarification here...
My question is this: why does China ban labor organizing/unions?
Is this yikes/intentional/actually a good thing?
(Yeah, I do know that labor unions are not always unequivocally good and sometimes they act more like middle management than as representatives of the workers... but democratizing the workplace seems like a no-brainer for any socialist project.)
Thoughts?
People in social media were complaining that some of the actions of community volunteers were going too far. I had a video example from Weibo of one such volunteer harassing another dude just for wearing shorts. Unfortunately, I just checked and it seems that the account associated with it has gone private.
So in other words, there's no actual institutional opposition to these community organizations.
or they organized some community organizations to help deal with the epidemic and someone went too far.
Very well could've been chengguan or people LARPing as chengguan. They're known assholes in every city.
