Instagram feeding me this for awhile, lots of eye rolly content but this I had to share, prowl his ig for this story and more
This is in regards to a tiktok about how co-ops existing aren't enough, where he says well, anyone can join or start one, so actually that is enough
Oh, let me just start a co-op. Oh, the banks won’t let me open an account that can be used democratically. Oh, the government won’t let me incorporate a democratic co-op because the legal framework only supports sole proprietorships, partnerships, and traditional corporations, not democratic organizations.
Weird how the structure of
society makes worker co-ops extremely difficult to create and sustain.Hey, that's a new one. "The problem with you lefties is that you're not cynical enough!"
I'll take that as a compliment.
The guy who synthesized materialism, famously idealist. His work partner also famously wrote a book that definitely wasn't a polemic against utopian socialism.
This guy has not read the book!
