Unions are good. Teacher's unions are good. Police unions are the exception. The working classes of the entire world like unions, outside of right-wing Americans obediently lapping up every scrap their uber wealthy masters throw them.

  1. But there are "right wing" union members. The Rockaway Republican club has or had several union members as its leaders.

  2. Why are police unions bad? Either one supports unions (as I do) or not. Are there any other unions that are "Objectionable"?

  3. Only internationalists care what "The Working Classes" of the world like. Why should I care about what Peruvian metal lathers or Polish mill workers like? I don't even care what many Americans like.

  4. Most working class people don't identify as "Working Class" because they don't romanticize their socio-economic position and aspire to "move up".

  5. If you don't see the irony of someone from one of the toniest areas in your borough playing Socialist, you should check the mirror. East Tremont to West Farms, maybe, but Riverdale isn't exactly "the hood. Just saying.
