The problem is the vampiric, worker-hostile corporate ownership model. We need an ability to create and manage worker-owned co-ops more easily, maybe an "SAP for Co-ops". Not just to run them, but to collaborate on shared resources and infrastructure to federate smaller concerns as larger entities to the outside, be it a platform or a co-op network.
- tacocataco 3y agoFor the collaboration part, Mondragon sounds exactly what you're looking for. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation As for creating the worker owned businesses, I would recommend requiring every business that receives tax breaks or government contracts of any kind be equally owned by the workers. That is public money and it should be used for the people's businesses. Don't worry, private businesses are so efficient, they don't need government help! Bootstraps. Another idea is turning every post office into a bank and they only issue loans to local worker co-ops?
