Never forget that billionaires in the United States think the ideal society should be modeled on the kingdom of Saudi Arabia
700,000 slaves work to build everything and cook and clean everything in this country.
This is the world the super rich are deliberately moving everyone into.
If you don’t wanna end up destitute and in chains, the super rich and their corporations must be brought to heel.
There is no other way
If people would only stick to it, definitely. Cooperatives align incentives and redistribute profits and power back to the community where it came from.
I want to see a law where workers have the right to collectively purchase their source of employment at fair market value whenever they choose. Or maybe make it a mandatory yearly vote.
If we had only cooperatives and single proprietorships, we would eventually run out of billionaires, because they'd have no way to extort the common people and renew their reserves. If we wanted to speed it along, we could also add a wealth tax and fund a UBI with it.
Do you have a better proposal? I'm for using all the tools available.
Do you know of any database where #cooperatives can be sorted by product offered, by location, etc.? Official databases in my area offer little information and usability.
I tried to start one in Wikipedia, but it was deleted. I'm now hosting a simple version of it in our website. It's been nice realizing that most of our needs can be fulfilled by cooperatives. Having #mondragonCooperative around us probably helps.
Are you interested in creating a collaborative #CooperativeDatabase? Where could be safely hosted?
