Noam Chomsky: Bernie Sanders can win back Donald Trump supporters

20. It wont work because the need for human capital has diminished

Too much automation, too little production, and it it too much damn work to try to constantly fight the same battles over and over. If you think it will work, get to work getting something done. Until I see some effort and progress, I'll continue to think it is a losing battle. Unions might endorse us on the left, but their members make their own decisions on who to support.

Honestly? Unions have issues of their own that we are not allowed to discuss. We can when it comes to police unions, but never ever with anything else, so nothing actually changes. I have watched unions protect some terrible workers who really contribute nothing to the workplace except attitude and drama. Now I know that it is their policy to fight hard for every single member, but good workers suffer when bad workers are protected. People have to WANT to join a union for unions to spread, but how can we spread them when states are controlled by Republicans? Everyone doesn't react positively to the idea of joining a union, even people who are members that like the benefits.

And yes, I honestly do believe that nothing will change on race until white people are simply one of many minorities. Without the power of numbers, it is very hard to continue to dominate everyone and everything and implement different standards for yourselves than for others and to leave people out. Yes. And I know I am right.
