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?
R u off ur head?
Foreign corporations have previously had to enter into joint ventures with Chinese companies to even enter in. It leverages the ACFTU to unionise within those foreign corporations to retain control. There are laws that require party cells within corporations of a certain size.
