Does it? It seems like a world without violent worker repression and criminal organized labour is mostly possible. Many things have a use lifetime. I'm sure once upon a time, I would have needed a personal firearm to protect myself out on the Wild West but today I have lived more than a decade in the US unarmed and no bandits have accosted me yet.
No doubt organized labour had value once and perhaps even the crime lords who controlled them provided societal utility but smashing the criminal element within has been good for America. It still exists but cut down quite a bit.
You’re arguing against the utility of the Second Amendment here which already puts you out of step with the entirety of American custom and political culture. Good luck trying to apply logic or reason against entrenched tradition and identity.

That’s good, sounds like organized labor is now free to exist without any crime issues.
