          As a top quint techy in AI I want basic income 'cause I feel kind of guilty about the jobs I'm destroying. So, I guess (a) is closest.

          What I've seen of "tech solidarity" is mostly about collective power to e.g. stop dark patterns; fund free software; protect net; etc

          Socialism means worker ownership of means of production. Unions are in the direction of workers getting an equal share of the enterprise.

          So it's not so much "poor us"; it's more "look how much more Mr. Bossman gets from *our* labor".

          That said from talking to my Marxist friend, I think they'd still believe in heavily taxing those high tech union salaries.
