Boycott profit!
Take your business to a cooperative or non-profit company. Every penny wisely spent makes a difference. Down with our corporate overlords! Down with their billionaire owners!

Dr. Jessica Gordon-Nembhard summarizes her work on #solidarityeconomics and #workercooperatives.

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.
We have #WorkerCooperatives and #ConsumerCooperatives. And we have #WorkerUnions to fill the gap and force non-cooperative corporations to treat their workers fairly. But are there #ConsumerCooperatives?

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.
