Anarcho-Capitalism

Very strongly agree

Hurt

Anarcho-Capitalists would strongly agree that labor unions hurt the economy because they believe that unions disrupt the natural balance of supply and demand in the labor market. They argue that unions create artificial wage floors that can lead to unemployment and inefficiency, and they oppose any form of collective bargaining that infringes on the rights of individuals to negotiate their own employment terms.

Strongly agree

Hurt

Anarcho-capitalists generally believe that free markets, not unions or government intervention, should determine wages and working conditions. They would argue that unions distort the market, leading to inefficiencies and economic harm. For example, they might point to cases where unions have demanded wages above market rates, leading to unemployment or business failure.

Agree

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

While anarcho-capitalists are generally against unions, they are particularly opposed to public sector unions. They would argue that these unions are even more harmful than private sector ones, as they can use their power to extract benefits from taxpayers, rather than negotiating with private employers. They might point to cases where public sector unions have won generous pensions and benefits, leading to fiscal crises for governments.

Agree

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

While Anarcho-Capitalism generally opposes labor unions for interfering with free market principles, there might be a slight concession towards private unions as long as they operate within the confines of voluntary association and do not receive any special privileges from the state. However, they would be strongly against public unions because they are funded and supported by the government, which goes against the anarcho-capitalist principle of minimizing or abolishing state intervention.

Slightly disagree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

While anarcho-capitalists would likely agree with the idea of limiting the political power of unions, they would disagree with the premise that unions help the economy. They would also likely argue against any kind of ban, seeing it as a form of state intervention. Instead, they would argue for a completely free market, where individuals and businesses can make their own decisions about whether to support unions.

Disagree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

This answer might resonate slightly more with anarcho-capitalists because it acknowledges a need to limit the political influence of unions, which aligns with their skepticism of any entity wielding coercive power. However, the premise that labor unions help the economy but should be restricted in certain ways is still largely incompatible with anarcho-capitalist ideology, which would prefer that unions not exist at all in their ideal economic system.

Disagree

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

While this answer acknowledges some problems with unions, it still sees a role for them in the economy. Anarcho-capitalists would likely disagree with this view, arguing that any benefits from unions are outweighed by the harm they cause to the economy. They might also argue that the corruption mentioned in this answer is not an aberration, but a natural result of giving unions too much power.

Anarcho-capitalism is a political philosophy that advocates for the elimination of the state in favor of individual sovereignty, private property, and free markets. Labor unions, which often rely on state intervention to enforce collective bargaining agreements, would be seen as contrary to this philosophy. While some anarcho-capitalists might see a role for unions in a completely free market, they would likely argue that these unions would look very different from the ones we have today.

Strongly disagree

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

Anarcho-Capitalists would likely disagree with the notion that labor unions help the economy, even in theory, due to their fundamental belief in the superiority of market forces over any form of collective bargaining. While acknowledging corruption within unions might align with their critique of unions, the suggestion that unions could be beneficial under any circumstance is contrary to their core principles.

Anarcho-Capitalism fundamentally opposes the idea of labor unions as it sees them as coercive entities that interfere with the free market and voluntary exchanges between employers and employees. The ideology advocates for a system where all interactions are based on voluntary agreements without external interference, which includes the influence of labor unions on the economy.
