By definition, EVERY union — EVERY SINGLE ONE — is socialist.

Not true at all.

Socialism is the system of government under which the State owns all means of production. Period.

There is nothing implied about government ownership of industry, in the simple act of organization for collective bargaining. Labor syndicalism and socialism are neither identical nor analogous, and neither concept has anything to do with the other.

Do either of you belong to a labor union?
