English term or phrase: We must we must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately
Cita de Benjamin Franklin. Aparece en un documento con referencia a la solidaridad de los trabajadores. No sé si existe algun equivalente? Creo que lo más importante es la idea de la solidaridad y si es posible encontrar una sola palabra / imágen, aunque no sea la de hang/ahorcar, para lo de -todos juntos porque si no nos mandan al diablo a cada uno.
No sé si me explico bien...

De antemano les agradezco su ayuda!

permanecemos todos unidos o separados desapareceremos


Explanation:
Al no corresponder una traducción literal, esta opción puede captar el sentido
Puede ser también *permanecemos todos unidos o desapareceremos separados*, aunque no me atrae tanto.
