After Capitalism: A Cooperative Economy (Documentary)
Worker #coops are the most plausible alternative to #capitalism that is clearly better than the status quo. The far left needs to unify around this vision of a postcapitalist society, so we can point to a clear example of how things could be different.

1. Can you elaborate on this objection to #Marxism?
2. There are arguments against #capitalism with zero reference to Marxism. Such arguments for #anticapitalism have been developed in modern terms by David Ellerman. Here is a PBS article introducing his argument for #WorkerCooperatives :

3. This results from insufficient attention to inalienable democratic rights in their theory. #Marx famously rejected #HumanRights -
@light #Capitalism is an actually existing system characterized by a certain set of property relations between the employer and labor. These property relations violate the principle behind private property of getting the positive and negative fruits of one’s labor. Capitalism must be abolished in favor of economic #democracy, a system where all firms are structured as democratic worker #cooperatives.

Richard Wolff, an American economist and professor emeritus at UMass Amherst, is known for his sharp critiques of economic inequality and his advocacy for worker cooperatives. Through his books, lectures, and public talks, he champions economic democracy and explores alternative economic models that empower workers and challenge the status quo.

Worker Cooperatives are democratically controlled enterprises run by the workers themselves. Tap in!

Policies that result in the median voter paying more #taxes are difficult. The #democrats need a #policy vision that doesn't raise taxes on the median #voter
Policy ideas
- Tax exemptions/deductions for #WorkerCooperatives and investment in worker #coops
- Special tax exempt status for #WorkerCoops
- Use corporate tax revenue to buy some shares of that company and put those in a trust democratically governed by workers in that company. -
Had a lovely chore-night with @anaulin as we did the books for #ZincCoop and published a light quarterly update with our financial statements: https://opencollective.com/zinc-community/updates/q3-2024-update

Two of my #Cooperatives got written up in #CounterPunch. They interviewed @anaulin who is a member of both #CohereCoop and #ZincCoop.

My little tech worker coop is working with #Piikup an #Oakland based delivery and logistics organization that provides door-to-door grocery, meal, and catering delivery services for a number of local restaurants and caterers.
Piikup is working towards a just transition from the #DoorDash, #EZCater, #TryCaviar, or #UberEats all of which aggressively squeeze food service and delivery workers.
If we can get 10 people ordering a plate once a month, that will help us work out the logistical and technological kinks. If you can afford to drop $15~$25/plate once a month on a delicious, healthy meal delivered to your door by workers who care about quality and community; please email [email protected] with your city and neighborhood and we'll let you know when we're ready to run our real test!

@SrRochardBunson Employers shouldn't exist. Every firm should be a worker-run cooperative

Rethinking free and open source and its role in the movement against capitalism - "Copyfarleft and Copyjustright"
https://www.metamute.org/editorial/articles/copyfarleft-and-copyjustright
This is an interesting paper and something like this should be explored. Although, I would shift the anti-capitalist analysis to the labor theory of property and shift some of the critique of property to employment contracts.

"This talk ... use[s] the standard principle of imputation to criticize the ideal model of MP theory itself.... The resulting argument is based on the principle of assigning #legal responsibility according to factual responsibility. It implies ... that the [workers] in a firm should be the [its] legal members ... in what are called labor-managed ... firms."

@kentpitman , which is the tenet that legal and de facto responsibility would match. Having a match means between legal and de facto responsibility would mean that the workers are jointly held legally responsible for their actions in production. In other words, all firms should be worker-run as in #workercoops.

Chernyshevsky's 1863 work "What Is to Be Done?" advocated for #socialist feminism and worker cooperatives.
Today, the #G7’s undemocratic workplaces contribute to social inequalities, leading to austerity measures and rising right-wing sentiments.
In the #BRICS, significant state involvement suggests a potential alignment with worker coops in pursuit of socialist goals.
The left's response should prioritize democratizing workplaces and promoting #WorkerCooperatives.

Curious if anyone out there has experience with #WorkerCooperatives in the #GameDev world?
I have long pondered the idea but never thought it would be possible.
Then I attended a talk by @omarieclaire today about her work "If You Don't Like the Game, Change the Rules" https://gameartsinternational.network/if-you-dont-like-the-game-change-the-rules/
Now I'm inspired to learn more. Anyone out there have resources they could point me to? Or experience to share? I'm a policy wonk at heart and actually think creating a coop charter sounds like fun.

Just finished translating Chapter 8 of Cooperative Enterprise and Market Economy, by @luisrazeto. In this section he lays out the operational logic of labor and community cooperatives, repurposing mainstream economic categories like equilibrium and (im)perfect competition.

@pluralistic also, let's replace bosses with #workercooperatives

I spent the weekend in Dublin as a delegate from Galway at the People Before Profit AGM discussing & debating policy and the direction of the party. PBP at it's core is democratically organised by it's members and I was honoured to participate.
I personally was excited to bring forward a motion to commit the party to put together policy on worker cooperatives which was passed. I look forward to the development of that policy over the next while.
