There is a fast-track way to change the world. It would take 10 minutes. Everybody join a union. And it’s not just about money. Political libertarian ideas are stupid. But they win because they’re organised. Unions have always been the only effective organised resistance. /1 https://t.co/14kaXNo9KF

We can all look on in horror as plainly venal and stupid people run the world. You can’t win arguments with them. They win because they organise, to have power. They need to be met with actual force, in resistance. Unions are that force, and always have been, historically. /2

Before unions there was no real politics. Just the privileged doing whatever they liked. The LNP for example only exists as a reaction to the establishment of unions in Australia. Before that landed wealth and industry just did what it liked. /3

If the millions who despair and protest every year went online right now and spent 10 minutes joining a union, the country would change. Overnight. It would be literally that fast. Nothing would strike greater terror in the hearts of the conservatives. /end
