Hostess going out of business

The less we have unions the better and any job that forces someone to join a union is not good business.

I'm trying be objective, not spike the ball on anyone's heads, if this sounds offensive.

Firstly, professing teamster organizers dressed as historical, Communist figures in leftist rallies, but still treat this characterization as a conspiracy theory. Had there been no self contradictions, I might have accepted this as a difference in worldviews and nothing more.

I grew up poor, was very happy for what I now know to be a banged up, gas heater on the wall, and the smell of what I now realize to be very tacky TV dinners in the oven. I was glad for Thrift store finds, dumpster dives, off-brand drink mix, and, yes, the occasional pastry from the Hostess thrift shop. My playground was an abandoned house, and my den was the public library. When you're apolitical, you don't ask where this stuff came from.

But, in the interest of engaging onlookers in perpetual revolution, the unionists have caused some confusion, as to what is middle class.

I have read the Communist literature, and understand it works like this:

Peasant
off the books, under the table

Low class
prisoner, welfare recipient, tax subsidized, blue collar proletariat on the public dole, civil servant

Middle class
entrepreneur, white collar exec, (petty) bourgeoisie, financially independent

High class
leverages enough wealth to pander influence.

Haven't unionists been telling the legally irresponsible, lower class that they are at war against their employers?

(I edited, to add peasant.)

I have not seen any independence of initiative, on behalf of collectivists, consider them to be false opposition, or a whipping boy, bought and paid-for, by business interests.

I don't care what Billy Ray Cyrus says about hillbillies fighting for labor rights. The fight was settled by the military.

What these people have was given to them.

Like I said, I'm not begrudging anyone for a basic living.

I don't think you entitle yourself to it, by spreading cholera in an Occupy encampment.

Someone had given me an encyclopedia and a fresh looking sweater. I had not found out about where they came from, until much later.

That's the same way I think of union-made goods, and other cheap crap.

If you don't know any better, you're glad for anything.

In short, it's a mutually beneficial relationship, not an example of parasitism, in that the workers and delegators are both better off, than if they had nothing.

The hangers-on are not parasitic, because they contribute labor.

The managers, bondholders, etc, are not parasitic, because they had a vision and took legal responsibility for it.
