Marx and Engels foresaw that laborers, who were no longer able to be profitably employed in home-based industries, would form trade unions in order to protect their interests in industries owned by others.

The heyday of trade unions has come and gone, and capitalism remains.

Free trade is extremely destructive, but that's not a bad thing when was it being destroyed is not productive, nor efficient. Break those old things, rip them apart, scavenge them for what's useful, and ditch what cannot be used.

You can shed all the tears you want, you can weep and wail and gnash your teeth, but you can't stop it.

ditch what cannot be used.

Yup.

What's more important: capital or the "ditched" labor?

I suggest that you will never be appointed spokesman for the capitalists. Labor has a lot more guns.
