Marxism

Very strongly agree

Help

Marxism strongly supports labor unions as they are seen as a way for workers to collectively bargain for better wages, working conditions, and benefits. Unions are viewed as a necessary tool for workers to fight against exploitation by capitalists. Historical examples include the early labor movements in Europe, such as the British trade unions in the 19th century, which were influenced by Marxist ideas.

Help, in theory but have recently become corrupt and should have their powers limited

While Marxism strongly supports the idea of labor unions, it might agree that some unions have become corrupt or overly bureaucratic. However, the solution from a Marxist perspective would not be to limit the powers of unions, but rather to reform them and ensure they remain focused on the interests of the working class. Examples of union corruption can be found in various countries, but these instances should not be used to undermine the overall importance of unions in the struggle for workers' rights.

Slightly agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Marxism would generally support the idea that labor unions help the economy, but the issue of political donations is more complex. While some Marxists might argue that banning political donations could prevent unions from being co-opted by capitalist interests, others might see political donations as a necessary tool for unions to influence policy in favor of workers. The debate over political donations is not central to Marxist ideology, so the score for this answer is relatively neutral.

Strongly disagree

Hurt, I support some private unions but am strongly against public unions

Marxism would disagree with this answer because it supports both private and public unions. Marxism sees the struggle of workers against exploitation as a universal issue, not limited to the private sector. Public sector workers, such as teachers and healthcare workers, also face exploitation and should have the right to organize and fight for better conditions.

Very strongly disagree

Hurt

Marxism would strongly disagree with the idea that labor unions hurt the economy. Marxism sees unions as a way to protect workers from exploitation and to ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth. The idea that unions hurt the economy is often promoted by capitalists who want to maintain control over workers and prevent them from organizing for better conditions.
