They have you brain washed don't they Comrade.

Unions are about their senior officials feathering their own nests. Corruption in unions is and always has been rampant. Sure they promote some interests of the workers, but self interest comes first with the people in power.

Some union officials may be like that, but the purpose of unions is to look after the interests of their members and by unifying preventing some workers from being unfairly picked on. There's a lot of left-wing guff spouted by union officials but it doesn't mean the central purpose of unions is invalid.

Have you read their stance on poverty? That's even funnier.

'Its main pre-occupation was its opposition to socialism and in particular strike action, although it also became associated with the policies of eugenics and sterilisation programmes as a means to reduce the population and as a result reduce poverty.'

Well, that's a huge change in heart...

Not at all. People should be able to do what they wish. So long as they don't impede or impose on others while doing it. That's the Libertarian view.

Your home is your castle has no relevance to advocating violence on another individual unless they're breaching your liberty.

Who's the libertarians who advocate violence? As you clearly advocate it by stating it's a worthy cause.

Libertarians defend the rights of people to bear arms you realise?

The Philosophy of Liberty - YouTube - to remind you what the philosophy of liberty is. Because I'm not entirely sure you truly believe in liberty.

I don't think you understand Libertarians exist on both side of the political compass.

I still don't agree. The organising body of the strike breakers was the Council, working with the management of the tramways company and the railway works. And egged on by Winston Churchill, in his capacity as editor of The British Gazette, the official government 'newspaper'.

So the role of the MCU had no bearing on the strike? they were hired by the council, but who gets the members to physically break the strike - the MCU, the Council may well have organised in the sense of finding a group, and that group was MCU who organised their members.

I understand this is a matter of opinion on the role of the MCU during this, but I find them to be a major factor.

Not at all. People should be able to do what they wish. So long as they don't impede or impose on others while doing it. That's the Libertarian view.

Then how do you justify cracking skulls?

Libertarians defend the rights of people to bear arms you realise?

Jesus christ, what's this got to do with anything? That's in regards of self-defence to prevent others breaching your liberties. I'm fairly libertarian myself, hence my questioning of your values.

I don't think you understand Libertarians exist on both side of the political compass.

Well done on ignoring my question, so who advocates within Libertarianism the use of violence outside of self-defence?

'Its main pre-occupation was its opposition to socialism and in particular strike action, although it also became associated with the policies of eugenics and sterilisation programmes as a means to reduce the population and as a result reduce poverty.'

Yep, my reaction too.

I appreciate what the purpose is. However like Socialism it simply does not work how it's supposed to when put into practice.

In it's purest form it's a benevolent organisation. However in reality due to the human condition it's full of people who are self serving to their own interests first and foremost.

How to win friends and influence people

I have a lot of clues thanks for asking.

The same shit unions were doing then still goes on now. Unionism was never a noble cause. Never was, never will be.

Anyone who opposes unionism openly is always labelled a fascist by the left wing union flogs.

Even if their issue is simply the union is disrupting their daily goings about.

Damn those working class with their concept of organised labour movement. We should see a return to the picture of Britain that Engels wrote about in 1844....
