I pay the FNV (a sort of union of unions here in the Netherlands) because they kept taking the government to court because the government wasn’t following its own laws… and they kept winning. They don’t help my job because I’m in IT and class consciousness hasn’t reached there yet, but someday…
The Bolsheviks in 1917 were a dues paying organization! If you’re building a serious revolutionary party under capitalism, you’re going to need a place to meet, organizational infrastructure, a paper, etc, and all of these things need dues. Check out Lenin’s Where To Begin (1905) for a quick read that will help put the task into perspective!
We have nothing to lose but our chains, and a world to win! Workers of the world, unite!!
Our unions and parties over here want money to join.

Why would I want to replace the democracy I live in with an authoritarian dictatorship that led to Putin lol
To be fair, Unions require people working for them, kind of need that money to pay those people.
Make your own then
Oi for that I’d need the time I spend at work to get the money I need to live.
Damn, catch-22
You could ask the people in your union to help you survive, oh wait…
