TL;DR
We learn that the dimensions of spin coincide with the dimensions of other magnitudes, for example action and angular momentum. They also coincide with a purely electromagnetic jeep dimensional form.

$$\left[spin\right] = \left[ electric \ resistance \right] \ \left[electric \ charge \right]^2$$
In the MKS system, the spin admits the the following units. $$ohm \cdot coulomb^2$$ It is say, without reference to units linked to mechanics.

The photon is an electromagnetic phenomenon that has spin. Could that have any importance? Could it lead to a way of uniting concepts that we do not usually think about?

In SI system unit ohm is defined by h and e, and unit coulomb is defined by e. I am not sure that your electromagnetic dimensional form is meaningful. Photon has mometum and angular momentum. Spin anglurar momentum of photon is nothing new to me.

You should be able to do that with any mechanical units. This isn’t unique to spin
