But unions always resort to violence or the threat of violence. Intellectuals serving interest groups have supported the aggressiveness of unions for decades. This is why ordinary people wrongly support unions. It is intellectuals, not capitalists, who are the real destroyers of the free market. 2025-07-30T07:18:08Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf7dt69mtxysxl63mwfwhvl20nxpp6akjcyqjjrg0dtv7lcdhjzrgzyz6p4fluskx4suaua9sntqqhjm8rtgqr8hgccys5gv5zager84c9v5smy74 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfc0rxegksca9cm70790r7cjly7at7ycd8tmcckps0q4gcfndmtvcc60yte'>nevent1q…0yte</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This -- &#34;they end up being a lot more relaxed about corporate distortion &amp; a lot more focussed on those from the collective actions of labour&#34; -- has nothing to do with reality.

To raise wage rates above the height at which the unhampered market would determine them is considered a postulate of the eternal laws of morality as well as indispensable from the economic point of view.
