You know what that’s called, right? It’s class consciousness. When people’s power fantasies are union organizing, that implies there is a degree of cultural hegemony going on and that’s pretty neat.

One thing I’ve noticed with Lemmy is that it feels way more like a social bookmarking and commentary platform. I see fewer posts that are “original content” here than for example Reddit.

A heads up that, in 2026, a 70 year old grandmother could just as well have had a 30-40-50 year career in computing. Don’t use grandmothers as the go to trope for tech illiterate users :)
The idea that a language ends up a lingua franca because of its qualities is simply ridiculous. It’s not linguistics, it’s empire. It’s always empire.

You seem to assume that mergers and acquisitions are not an essential part of a market economy. Left to their own devices, capitalists will always end up trying to form monopolies. You need a strong regulatory state to keep them in check. But then because they are inexorably pulled towards maximizing profitability, they will try to capture the state and deregulate. So, unless you go to a very aggressively anticapitalist set of policies a market economy will never be “functioning” for long.

I like you ask in hypotheticals.

Unions are a tool of the working class in the class struggle. Not sufficient for socialism, but kinda necessary.
