Precicely this.
Mutual cooperatives have all the pieces we need in my opinion for the core organization of human action. Unfortunately they are effectively impossible to start for anything with more than trivial startup costs, as capital is (somewhat understandably) allergic to promoting Democratic employee owned organizations.
- ke88y 3y agoI love the Seagull Articles of Incorporation! https://www.seegull.org/articles-of-inc.html https://www.seegull.org/articles-of-inc.html Definitely need more of this. It's strange that, in the west, we're deeply committed to these basic values in all institutions except those which have become the most powerful and important in folks' every days lives (employers and service/goods providers), where we are instead deeply allergic to notions of democracy, equality, and checks and balances.
