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?
I don't believe the goal is socialism.
edit: not among everyone, but the people saying the stuff from the article (which is old and apparently the party has shifted left since)
and really it isn't, communism is. Maybe it legitimately is just a sacrifice. Just seems like capitalism is making inroads.
