I don't understand why Conservatives don't love unions. A strong union could force companies to self-regulate on things like workplace safety and would require less spending on things like unemployment insurance.
Self regulation doesn't exist where union workers can't be fired or ignored for striking. Its an unfair scale.
Too bad, it's our first amendment right.
In one paragraph, my point is that in it's in everybody's interest for them to be in a union, but for nobody else to be. (Similarly, it's convenient for me to litter, but I want public spaces to be clean, so I hope nobody else litters). In these cases society's role is to discourage the anti-social behavior.
This just illustrates the limits of capitalist thinking. It's in everybody's interest for everyone to be in a union, which is why socialism is superior to capitalism. Instead of forcing arbitrary, unnecessary competition in a society where scarcity is manufactured not innate, it's time to evolve as a society and focus on collectivism, preparing for extinction level threats like pandemics and asteroids, and making technological development purposed for human development not entertainment and profit.
