I realize there will probably be multiple answers to this, but what is
everyone's view of unions?  It seems like one of the largest
beneificaries under a Marxist view of European and U.S.-style unions
is the capitalist, since they tend to work to ameliorate economic
disparities, no matter how imperfectly they do so.

Are such unions a possible source for revolution or not?
