    Unions may have started from the socialist movement, but insisting they’re communist in nature is just denying reality. Social liberalism also split from democratic socialism, and is an explicitly capitalist ideology. Genetic arguments are almost always shit, and I challenge you to walk up to the average union worker and ask them if they’re a communist.

      Communist movement, I do not think it was a socialist movement.

      I think most or all of them were not communist, just the leadership or the organizer that gets them together.

      Communists were a part of union culture since the bigging, the Red Scare removed most of them, then the unions became less effective.

      This is to the best of my knowledge.
