I feel like we're going in circles

Yes, I understand

My question is (1) why can't labor unions fight back against that tendency indefinitely, if given enough power to demand a reasonable share of the extra value of their labor (2) why is socialism guaranteed to get rid of that issue in practice; where has this been tried and worked out that way in reality to make sure it matches the theory

Unions can't fight back against competition being a thing. I think you're confusing RoP with wages.

The Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall has been absent from every Socialist country.
