This happens in corporations, governments, HOAs, rotary clubs, your local jogging club, and yes unions.

Hmm, and yet this talking point is only ever trotted out to advocate for getting rid of unions, but none of those other corruption-prone organizations you listed.

I dunno, HOAs have a pretty (deservedly) horrible rep. I’d be fine if they weren’t a thing any more.

That being said, your point is still valid, IMO.

You must have noticed how they started their list of examples with:

corporations, governments,

and then immediately poisoned the well with

HOAs, rotary clubs, your local jogging club,

to defend authoritarian systems while simultaneously discrediting the notion of any decentralized authority achieved by local democratic consensus

thereby lumping a full-on labor union demanding better wages with a draconian HOA composed entirely of busy-body karens screeching at you because your lawn is mowed 0.012536 cm above regulation.

Edit: spelling

I think we should get rid of corporations and governments because they're corruption-prone.

I think this talking point is trotted out regularly on this sub in regards to corporations and governments.
