for what it's worth I think Bingo and I are two very different sides of the Labour argument (I don't think he'd ever considering calling himself a Socialist whereas I'd be more comfortable with that label) but we're in agreement on the idea of fan unions.

They're not real unions, they have nothing to do improving the material conditions of workers and getting them a fairer deal or owning all the benefits of what labour creates.

Fans are consumers. I get that you fundamentally disagree, and that's cool. But I also personally believe you're watering down the labour movement by drawing parallels where I don't think there are any.
