    I remember i was doing some shitty job with this apolitical meathead but hed love to talk politics, just not read or watch anything. I remember asking him if he liked democracy, him saying yes and then saying why not democracy in the workplace and a lil light bulb like clicked it seemed.

    Then everyone clapped. There was a little more discussion to alternatives to what we have now like, "what if everyone switched jobs every six months" or just co-ops in general. Im not sure if that exchange ever stuck with him but it was interesting for me that he must have never thought about that stuff once in his life.
