"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.
Period.
If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.
There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."
I’d say that leans towards what I said at the end. Any form of worker organization can be corrupted. Symptoms of a greater problem, not one of unions specifically. Consumerism and corporatism have made identities out of brands, like in the Ford case you mentioned. That brand and those workers’ associations with it became ways for them to exert a kind of social power. But that could’ve happened whether those workers were unionized or not.
