Yeah. I remember throughout the 70's and 80's when they were busting those 
"corrupt" unions, I never thought for a minute that they were busting them 
BECAUSE they were corrupt. They were busting them because the ruling class 
were threatened by organized workers. The unions were more vulnerable 
because they were corrupt, but I mean it's not like they busted the corrupt 
unions and put unions that were not corrupt in their place. Jeez.
