33. You say, "learn from history".

Okay, so the millions of union protestors over the last 120+ years who protests against the coal, steel, rail, auto and other industries who were monopolies were just spitting into the wind?

Read up on the 1909 Cherry mine disaster, read up on the union strikes in the 1890's read up on the countless strikes by union workers and potential union workers who broke the back of the industrial monopolies, then get back to me when you learn from history.

Union history has a bloody and violent history mostly perpetrated by the corporations.

And what you suggest is rather than protesting against monopolies, the people protesting should just form their own corporation. So on other words, if you can't beat them join them?
