At a certain scale they will hire from the same pool as the ISPs. Labor is never saved, it's just moved around. Cooperatives are always better than traditional for-profit companies because you dont have an executive class that does nothing but soak up value generated by the laborers.
At very worst, this sort of volunteer operation will not change the relationship the workers have with their labor and only change who's paying them to do it.
- tathougies 7y agoCooperatives are for profit companies. I'm unsure why you think they're not or why they did not fall under my definition of 'for profit' company. That being said. Cooperatives do have executive classes and they do soak up value from labor Also traditional for profit companies would theoretically allow local stakeholders to reap profits but I do agree that due to unjust sec rules about accredited investors designed to protect the rich, this can not happen
- ixtli 7y agoWell ok, but I never implied (or meant to) that co-operatives aren't trying to generate profit for reasons that include less of that profit generation ending up in the hands of people who do less, at least in the co-ops im familiar with. They are more efficient than the predecessor organization style. I definitely did imply that they had no executive class, though, which is wrong.
