Our Communist Labor Unions

Been saying that unions are communistic for a long time and demand a part of something they did not create if in fact they want to own the means of production.

Listen to the video...this "Roofer" is a bit wacko.

"Yesterday, the AFL-CIO posted this bizarre tweet, which consists of a video starring someone named Dan Whelan, who is identified as “marxist, roofer.” The video is funny in all the wrong ways. Whelan tries to update Marx, who was wrong about everything 150 years ago and not worth the effort. Whelan says there is no such thing as a middle class, since everyone who does not own the “means of production” is a “worker.” What, exactly, are the means of production in a 21st century economy? This is my favorite howler: Whelan identifies three: factories (fair enough), plantations (we don’t have a lot of those anymore) and skyscrapers. Seriously. So you are a “worker” or a “capitalist,” depending on whether you own a part interest in the building that houses your office."

This is bizarre, We produce and or create value, we own Our means of production, whether we produce for our own business or produce for someone else's business. One has a skill in which to produce value and a mind in which to create value...I don't necessarily want to own the building, the machines nor the debt!; otherwise, I'd be the entrepreneur, I'd be the one taking the risk.

There is a lot to unpack here.
Public sector unions are Our Employees, are they not?...yet we don't own their means of production and as far as I am concerned, they don't produce anything except a tax bill at the end of the year.

The other question is...isn't a CEO, a president, an accountant, a congressman, (scratch that one), a worker?
Isn't everyone not homeless or on the dole part of the "Working Class"?

    It was a marxist idea and I heard some head idiot from the AFL-CIO state that they were essentially communist.

    Labor unions have a history of left leaning. The organizers originally were left leaning and pust the leftist agenda. Not necessarily communist but definitely left leaning.

    I think all unions should be abolished especially because they manifest power and influence from others that actually do the work...just another Mofiosa scheme.
    They have also empowered the progressive communist movement throughout the world.
