Owenism

Very strongly agree

Help

Owenism, founded by Robert Owen, was an early form of socialism that emphasized the importance of cooperative organization in society, including in the workplace. Owen himself established cooperative communities and was a strong advocate for the rights and well-being of workers. Given this, Owenism would strongly agree with the idea that labor unions help the economy by advocating for workers' rights, fair wages, and better working conditions, which align with Owen's vision of a cooperative and equitable society.

Robert Owen, the founder of Owenism, was a social reformer who advocated for the rights of workers, including the establishment of cooperatives and trade unions. Therefore, Owenism would strongly agree that labor unions help the economy.

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

Owenism would agree with the notion that labor unions help the economy in theory, as it aligns with its foundational belief in the power of collective action and cooperation among workers. However, the suggestion that unions have become corrupt and should have their powers limited might be met with some agreement, acknowledging that any organization, including unions, can deviate from its original purpose. Yet, the emphasis would likely remain on reforming and improving unions to better serve workers' interests, rather than limiting their power outright.

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

While Owenism fundamentally supports the role of labor unions, it also acknowledges the potential for corruption within any institution. Robert Owen himself was a critic of the abuses of power within the capitalist system, and it is likely that he would also be critical of similar abuses within labor unions. However, the ideology would still see unions as fundamentally beneficial and would advocate for reform rather than limiting their powers.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Owenism would likely agree with the sentiment that labor unions help the economy, but may have mixed feelings about the idea of banning their ability to make political donations. On one hand, Owenism supports the idea of labor unions as a force for social change, which could include political activism. On the other hand, Robert Owen's vision of a cooperative society might see such donations as a potential source of corruption or undue influence.

Agree

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations

Owenism, with its focus on cooperative models and collective welfare, would recognize the importance of labor unions in supporting workers' rights and contributing to a more equitable economy. The idea of banning political donations by unions might be seen as a way to prevent undue influence and ensure unions focus on their primary mission of worker advocacy. However, Owenism might also view political engagement by unions as a necessary tool for achieving broader social and economic reforms that benefit workers, suggesting a more nuanced stance on this issue.

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

While Owenism strongly supports the role of labor unions in advocating for workers' rights and improving their conditions, it does not make a significant distinction between private and public unions. The ideology's focus on cooperative efforts and collective welfare suggests a general support for all forms of unions that aim to uplift workers. However, the specific opposition to public unions does not align well with Owenist principles, which would likely see value in unions across all sectors as a means to advance worker rights and social justice.

Hurt

Owenism, with its roots in early socialism and cooperative movements, inherently supports the empowerment of workers and their collective action through unions. The ideology views labor unions as essential mechanisms for improving the lives of workers and creating a more equitable society. Therefore, Owenism would strongly disagree with the statement that labor unions hurt the economy, as it contradicts the core belief in the positive role of collective worker action in societal improvement.

Owenism would strongly disagree with this statement. The ideology supports the rights of all workers, regardless of whether they are in the private or public sector.
