  I don’t think that’s what fascism is

    Union-busting is absolutely part of the fascist agenda.

      Only after elected they absorb the union into the state. Before elections the Nazis backed many of the unions.

        well no, the Nazis paid lip service to “workers” in general but literally got into bloody (as in armed paramilitary) conflicts with unions (Iron Front vs. SA) for years before the complete takeover of the government, after the takeover of the government almost all union organizers got sent to the concentration camps as political prisoners because “they were all Marxists”, the Nazis then replaced the unions with the German Labor Front (DAF), an organization that existed to keep the worker in his place, going as far as to literally take money from the workers to pay for building new production lines.

        so, no, they did not absorb the unions, and they definitely didn’t back the unions, unless you call strike-breaking with a machine gun “backing”

        So what you’re saying is that the Right are pro-union and are staunch defenders of worker’s rights

        This is blatantly ahistorical and you’d almost have to deliberately keep yourself ignorant to think this.

      No, it’s part of the capitalist agenda and its a good thing. If you don’t want to do your job then quit. That goes for cops, UAW workers, teachers, and more.

        No, it’s actually a very very very bad thing, as is the capitalist agenda, which has been an abject failure in accomplishing any of it’s claims.

        Also, getting you to turn power over to unelected and unaccountable wealth hoarders based on nothing but their wealth is also part of the capitalist agenda.

        Aslo, fuck you for your elitist bullshit and telling people to just change jobs. Seriously…fuck you.

        That’s what they just said.

        and its a good thing.

        If you’re an obscenely wealthy ghoul who profits off the suffering of everyone who has less money than you, then yes. In all other cases, absolutely the fuck not.

        If you don’t want to do your job then quit. That goes for cops, UAW workers, teachers, and more.

        So you’d be happy if all the cops, auto workers, teachers, nurses, firefighters, etc. quit? You’d rather have massive and continuous societal upheaval than workers collectively bargaining for the right to make a decent living doing their jobs? I’d rather have a functioning society, personally, and that’s why I support unions and you should too.

    Yeah it’s some business owner shutting down a union

      Like, unironically. Fascists are extremely anti-union.

        The Nazis and Soviets did the same thing about unions. Picked unions that had a lot of their backers in them and backed those, then once elected they created state ran unions and banned all others.
