> Believe it or not, some of us have first and secondhand experience with unions, so we don't pay much attention to the communist propaganda bragging about them.

So the UK and Europe are communist now?

In the EU I've never heard of a single union other than itself. Every time I see the word "union" it's about the US. This doesn't mean they don't exists in the EU, in fact it some googling uncovers they pretty much do, yet somehow they appear invisible unless you look for them actively. Meanwhile it seems they are always hot in the USA as they get mentioned so often.

It this rhetorical?

No. I'm just baffled, it's like I'm talking to an LLM that was trained on capitalist propaganda.

One might say the same about you and the communist twaddle that you peddle. Yo guys zinged me for 30 or 40 internet points yesterday, but the only votes that counted were cast last November.

So the fact that we have unions in the UK and Europe, <40h weeks, >25 paid days of annual leave and 8+ days of public holidays, employment rights and don't beg for tips, free healthcare and, shockingly, free enterprise.... makes us communists? Do you even know what communism is? Sounds like you deserved to lose these internet points.
