Seriously, Communists did not like trade unions (even if they were using them at times for tactical reasons). They did not like them because they saw them as a compromise that improves the life of workers and turns them away from revolution. They also have seen in trade unions, labor laws and social safety net, the reactionary intrigue of the Church.
Free Market ideology and Marxism are closely related.
If I wanted to have somebody else (besides the government) take a huge chunk of my paycheck without working for it, I would have gotten married.
Agreed. The U.S. however was always structured by the Founders...and the first Administration...George Washington and his Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton to have an internal free market and an external tariff wall to promote unity, preventing foreign interst disruption thereto, and a solvent government that could afford a national military.
With the unprecedented attacks on national unity by the extremely extremist idealogues who are heedless of the real risk of voter rejection of even trade reciprocity [fair trade] looming...the whirlwind has been sown and is apparently about to be reaped.
