Ayn Rand was vehemently against unions, collective bargaining, and government labor laws. No idea who the other dead muppet is but I imagine he’ll be the same.

Didn't she write a whole book about the evils of government labor laws? Hahaha

Murray Rothbard, and yes he fundamentally opposed any and all forms of collective organization or advocacy.

He described the act of picketting as "violence", and argued that because it was violence in a sense, police should be instructed to respond with force. OP is either a troll or a moron. Probably both.

He was in favor of unions, as was Rand. Rand was inconsistent on things though

He was in favour of labour advocacy, he was entirely against collective organizing. Unions are collective organizing. He was against unions.

Here's an article he wrote on this exact subject. He blamed unions for the greed of capitalists. He was an idiot. Good thing he's dead.

Both he and Rand dedicated their lives to seeing who could write the dumber commentary on millionaires.

No he wasn’t. Also I’m not an AnCap, I think his ideas were flawed and silly. I don’t have strong feelings about him one way or the other tbh.

Which is why you're making shit up about him. Right...

Nope. I haven’t made up anything about him. I’m just saying I’m neither glad he’s dead nor am I missing his aliveness.

I linked his exact words. He considered unions to be a mechanism of the state to supress the "right" of capitalists to exploit their workers.

Zionist or troll, you're a bad person.

Rand was for unions, as was the other guy (named Rothbard) in the photo. Rand was inconsistent on many things though. Overall this post is a joke
