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?

    It looks like they can no longer criticize Donald Trump then, since he did so much risk labor with his multiple failed enterprises held up only by the safety net of his parent's wealth & his connections to the rich and powerful, something that can never be compared to means of production that are privately owned. No. Never.
