Labor and Capital no longer are at odds thanks to the influence of Reaganomics on the “right to work” movement in the 80s to shatter, unions, making it possible for even union members not to have to pay their dues, let alone those with a right not to join and yet reap the benefits of the organized. This conservative strategy to bust or limit unions began in the 60s by the non-industrial states, tempting capital to invest in large chunks of the nation where labor was cheap.

Now the strategy has been carried globally where underdeveloped nations pick up their skirts of inexpensive prostitution of labor what once was used in Arkansas and its ilk to flaunt cheap, much available workers. Capital now has dipped dramatically into China’s pool of virtual slave labor where there is more bang to the buck. There is no right or wrong here: it’s simply the means of capital to justify the ends. The greatest possible return is through productivity where costly research and skill required of modern machinery is secondary when radical, brute exploitation is the byword.
