When a "problem" has no solution then it's not actually a problem, just a fact to be accepted. Like gravity. There's nothing wrong with worker owned cooperative

When a "problem" has no solution then it's not actually a problem, just a fact to be accepted. Like gravity. There's nothing wrong with worker owned cooperatives, but for anything that requires significant capital you have to run things the way that capital owners want. And large-scale economic central planning where governments allocate capital has been an abject failure everywhere it has been tried, so don't insult our intelligence by suggesting that we give it another shot.
- saubeidl 1y agoWhat you're proposing, my friend, is called ideological blindness.
- nradov 1y agoWhat are you proposing? I mean in terms of stuff that's actually feasible in the real world of today, not empty fantasies.
- saubeidl 1y agoI believe that what is feasible in the real world changes over time, it is a matter of building momentum and challenging the status quo. Nobody would've thought the rise of MAGA in the US was gonna be feasible two decades ago. Maintaining ideological blinders for what is feasible is how entrenched interests prevent systemic change.
