    If you think that I am romanticizing the formation of unions, then I doubt you have read my comments sincerely.

    I think you are romanticizing the relevancy of legislation and the state to support workers.

    The state supports capital, not workers.

    The structure of our society places the state and capital within the ruling class, with the same interests, the repression of workers. Voting cannot effect fundamental changes, the way you are imagining. It may only offer modest benefit for broader movements.

    Meaningful change happens from the ground up.
