"The truth is that unions are essentially parasitic organizations that thrive only by draining and ultimately destroying the companies and industries they control." A favorite quotation from the libertarian socialist, Noam Chomsky: "All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume." Isnt quoting Noam Chomsky sorta like quoting Lennon instead of Lenin? Oh yes, my friend. One was a disillusioned singer. The other is merely disillusioned. |
