I am grieved to tell you that @nathanjrobinson has effectively fired me & most of the @curaffairs staff because we were trying to organize into a worker’s co-op. This isn’t a bit. I wish it was. https://t.co/0lmnJlzAEX pic.twitter.com/5P6U88d4VR— lyta gold, fired for doing socialism (@lyta_gold) August 18, 2021
So, the two problems with the modern corporation are: 1. It’s owned by shareholders, who are disproportionately from the upper classes 2. It’s controlled by executives, not the people who do the actual labor to produce the goods and services. It’s “capitalistic” because the profits flow to capitalists; people who make their money by contributing their capital rather than their labor. Socialists advocate rethinking institutions so that they’re owned by their workers or society at large, and they’re controlled democratically.
