Anarchists and socialists. 1. Unted States labour organisation

 The US labour organisation model is built on the anarcho-syndicalist model of the 'one-in,all-in',the 'all-or-nothing' organisational ideas. It bases its revolutionary plans on sectoral strikes to gain industrial predominance in one sector after another. Reagan called left-wing politics the 'domino' theory.

Those ideas are mocked by US songsters whose love of 'horse' and cocaine is fuelled by the Italian and black mafia.

US trade unionism is often craft-style trade unionism with a strong  admixture of 'business unionism'. Of those two strands,company unionism forms croney deals with employers. The arrangements are the deals so abhorred by workers everywhere and so adored by Catholic journalists and clergymen. The model of company unionism is the Union of Automotive Workers drive for recruits at Ford Motor Company in the decades of industrial unrest. This Thirties alternative to hammering out a 'fair deal' is the authoritarian model based on the Todt organisation (or German Labour Front). Hitler wanted to get the unemployed back to work by getting them to build roads but he could not afford to pay the 'union' rate of pay.

Of the authoritarian and free approach to labour organisation,one of these,the vaguely aligned (the anarcho-syndicalist approach) has its roots in the unionism of Sacco and Vanzetti and De Leon and Brumsey and Connolly. 

The aim of anarcho-syndicalist and its counterpose, totalitarian labour organisation, was self-regulating bodies in separate industries. 

Because the US has always been a capitalist society,all efforts at any type of labour organisation are rejected by the US Establishment as being restrictive practices which hamper capital  accumulation. Establishment figures and business unionism leaders blame the trades unions founders with the revolutionary aim of overthrowing their masters.

Masters and servants

Today,the "masters" are not shareholders or big business magnates but rather vulture funds and financial conglomerates looking for profit and surplus value from the relatively diminishing Continental US industrial, commercial and financial stocks of investments.

The US and Ireland. Connolly 

Connolly copied the US syndicalist motto of convergence into ONE BIG UNION and brought the model of syndicalism to Dublin in the economic and political organisation of the industrial working class.

.....

The US labour movement is the product of anarcho-syndicalism,not socialism. (The socialists are grouped in the Democratic Socialists of America and profess no economic allegiance in the sense that they believe in socialist trade unions).

The Chinese realise that the US is multiform and a conglomerate,a federation.

That is what attracts immigrants,the possible to tap into a large and diverse land of freedoms and opportunities.

A federation offers difference and diversity and the permanence of change and eternal renewal.

The US aimed at a French Departmental system but it can only exist as a reasonably disunited whole.

The Chinese admire the US and ape it's wealthy benefices.

The Chinese worldview is shaped by their students and emigrants experiences of the US. In their developing confusion they want to unite disparate elements in a more-or-less harmonious unity. They call this opposites-attract world a multi-polar world.
