    Unions is not socialism.

    Socialism is when the corporations are both owned and controlled by the workers of those companies themselves.

      Unions are a tool of the working class in the class struggle. Not sufficient for socialism, but kinda necessary.

        Surely that’s when humanity has forgotten how to be selfish and the state withers away, leaving a utopia of fully actualised workers for whom work and play are indistinguishable, both being ways of joyously participating in society.

          Something notably quite different from what socialists are trying to achieve
