Unions in America do it.

Nobody, it is human nature.

Who is harmed?
People in the 3rd world that are not allowed to exploit their comparative advantage.

That advantage is a willingness to work for lower wages.

By keeping these folks out of the economic game, unions and socialists are relagating them to perpetual poverty.

How about letting them start on their own and give them a chance to build a decent life? When their only option is to work 18 hours a day, there's not much of a way to get a better job.

I'm not saying the dictatorship now doesn't need to be stopped, I say just don't force a system on the people that they don't want or need. Not all the world wants capitalism.
