Why would a person who lives in a so-called “democracy” feel powerless? That feeling prompted Starbucks workers to begin to unionize. Management is trying to hamper their efforts to do so. Click on the following link for more: https://youtu.be/rxx9kCn4Dzk
Starbucks’ profit is enormous at almost 21 billion dollars in 2021, but that, of course, stays at the 1% management level.
Unions are only an imperative, when a nation’s economic system only benefits 1% of her citizens. When a nation’s economic system is already designed to benefit all of her citizens, workers’ unions become meaningless.
Even if the United States achieves 76% unionization, and creates a comparable welfare state like Sweden, we should still continue to struggle towards socialism. Capitalism, as Starbucks has shown, is the antithesis of democracy.
Socialism is the perfect match for democracy!
