Unions are a prerequisite to a democracy

Hence why the neo-fascists and neo-liberals are hell bent on destroying them. They are also prerequisite to any form of socio-economics that purports to go 'meta' on that. E.g., Hanzi's social liberalism 2.0. or the collaborative commons. 

I'd also note that when we use Facebook to organize as a group by sharing information, that too is a form of 'union' that inspires and motivates collective action. We don't just complain on it but join activist organizations, as well as contact representatives by the millions. Don't buy into the establishment propaganda that we here on FB aren't doing anything. They know we are and want to curtail us just like they do workers unions.
