Losing Our Chains

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW, until today, that the Teamsters Union has been run by the federal government for the past twenty five years. Monitored and overseen by the feds, actually. Jimmy Hoffa Junior has been the leader since 1999, and he swears he hates the mob, which, considering his family history, is believeable. Certainly seems like a drastic solution, but it seems to have worked, and the gov is pulling out even as we speak. Case closed, one more victory for socialism over the corrupting tendencies of unregulated capitalism. I mean, look. In a big industry, with many low wage workers, said workers are gonna, if given half the chance, organize. Union organization is as naturally human as apple pie, given the human tendency towards oppression and exploitation of the many by the few. So, first cometh the unions, then comes the corruption. Since the owners don't fight fair, why should the workers? What we really need in the United States is a good old fashioned social labor party, like they have in every European country, a party to supplement our two parties of ownership, the Dems and repubs, tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Or better yet, a worldwide labor union, an international union/political party/movement of the workers/poor people of the planet. How many would that entail, in reality? What, about six billion people or more? Isn't the pyramid much broader at the base? Like the Marx-man said: "workers of the world unite, you have only your chains to lose".
