To claim that labor movements are somehow divorced from unions is ahistorical.

> what we call unions today are not that.

Unions don't involve organizing, protesting, or fixing problems? How do you think unions ever get a contract?

Your comment makes frustratingly little sense to me.




Socialist movements which pushed for workers rights in Europe are more based on Marx than unions. Most modern worker parties has their roots there, but of course some of the more extreme socialist policies has been dropped in favor of capitalism.
