Of course C*******ts were heavily involved in the Labor Movement: their creed was better working conditions for labor, which was desperately needed in this country, if you are familiar with well-documented abuses by Big Business for centuries.
Labor was little more than s***es. There was no one to look out for their interest. They had no power. Criminal abuses were common. That an ugly and failed philosophy like C*******m might use a prominent failure of Capitalism to gain popularity and acceptance, does not mean that there wasn't something terribly with Capitalism as practiced back then.

Democracy without some needed socialism is social darwinism. How we care for the least of these is not only an imperative of Christianity but of any good government.

Excuse me for interrupting your socialistic propaganda.
Especially your attempt to make their activities past tense and trying to downgrade their "progressive-liberal" activities with the words "some needed socialism." Just a little more control for the workers you say?

Let me quote the Socialist of America:

"The Socialist Party participates in the e*******l process to present socialist alternatives. We do not divorce e*******l politics from other strategies for basic change. While a minority, we fight for progressive changes compatible with a socialist future. When a majority we will rapidly introduce those changes, which constitute socialism, with priority to the elimination of the power of big business through public ownership and workers' control."

Read their words again: When a majority we will rapidly introduce changes, which constitute socialism, with priority to the elimination of the power of big business through public ownership and workers control!

Does anyone else see the subtle lies and at the same time the actions of the current DEMOCRATIC administration and his ilk?

Sparky, I don't know who your addressing here but if it is me instead of saying Your blanket statement about unions, couldn't be farther from the t***h. How about some facts that discredit what is said. Even considering their support leans heavily with the Democrats.
I have been in 2 union jobs/shops, 1 with Boeing and the othe the USPS and left both because of the way the unions protected the no-loads And lets not forget their c*******t origans!
I am, if you couldn't tell by my handle, an IBEW electrician. Our union was formed when a wireman doing his job, had a 50/50 chance of being dead every day he worked. It's not a typo, saying he, as women were not thought to be able to perform the work. Now on any given day, on any given jobsite, chances are you will see women in anyone of the building trades.
If you are paid by the hour, you owe a thank you to unions for receiving overtime after 8 hours or after 40 hours per week. Also for the 5 day work week. I worked in highway construction as an equipment operator, finish blade hand, scrapper operator, and cat skinner where I was paid dammed good and there was no c****e unions in site!
When I was a general contractor my men were well paid with benefits, We usually worked 4 10 hour days with no overtime because they wanted a 3 day weekend and the curse word "union" was never heard
The building trade unions do not have the job protections, that government employee unions have. We are expected to produce results in our work or were are down the road.
With that being said, I have very little in common with my unions political beliefs. I see the Constitution being trampled on by this current rabble in control. If you have any questions with what I have stated, feel free to ask.

CH, do you see any insults in my post?

I have worked all my life, only briefly for a Union company. I am 66 and still working, though part time, being semi-retired. I provided some information that is easily verifiable and I would provide sites except I believe it is good for a person to do the work themselves.
Have their been abuses by unions? Yes, many but that does not mean they haven't helped Americans form their high standard of living. Just saying, "Yeah, sure," in a sarcastic tone and making no effort to check the facts seems a shame.

What I said is not a liberal post; it is simply factual. History.

I have to ask. Why be insulting?
