I didn't mean it as a criticism, I just think its amusing that any time in the US if someone talks about unionising or workers rights - chants of "that's communism" begin. The workers have been so programmed to not stand up for themselves it has become a tragedy.
I know what you mean, the red scare is very deep in the US. It’s certainly funny that many seem to think unions are communism without actually knowing what either is or what the actual connection between them is. My tongue was in the vicinity of my cheek when I wrote the above comment.
