I recommend reading more about existing cooperatives. They offer way better packages to their employees than manager-owned companies. This can also include life insurances, health insurances, child care etc. And since everyone working and o

The free market is a set of principles between companies, not a principle for how companies need to be organized internally. Capitalism is based on single-owned companies. Cooperatism is based on worker-owned companies. Cooperatism is a bet

Totally. The USSR had no worker-owned companies. They all belonged to the state. There was no economy which is based on cooperatives in a free market, yet.

That doesn’t change the fact that every month there are people putting money into that fund and people getting money out of that fund. The money you put in, is not the same money you get out of it. It’s still money that people working at th

> I don't think all the value created by workers is realized as profit immediately. And as the worker creating that future profit you are very well aware of that, plus everyone else working on the design and manufacturing is in the

Where’s the cooperative in your example? Either you are a freelance author who has a contract with a publishing cooperative. In this case you have a contract with that cooperative and during the negotation process both sides decide together

Living in a country with strong workers rights, this is not how pensions work. The pensions people receive every month are literally paid by the taxes which are collected from everybody and every company during that month. Pensions are not

A free market of cooperatives is an alternative. One might call it „cooperatism“, if it needs a term.

Profits belong to the people who create them, not to people who used to work at the same company in the past. Expecting future employees of a company to work for ex-employees in the future is unfair. Having worked for a company, doesn’t ent

Cooperatives guarantee that only people working in the company benefit from the profit of their own work. If one can stop working and still take a share from the profits, everyone else would have to not just work for themselves and lose par

I’ve been waiting for this since the first talk about Unison. Love the huge progress you have made and congrats to the public release of Unison Cloud! Question: Is it possible to set the region of the database/storage? Or is there any

The author is not a scientist, wrote a book called »Global Warming and Other Eco-Myths: How the Environmental Movement Uses False Science to Scare Us to Death« and he cites only one single paper. Totally untrustworthy

Why should we exclude some people from living in attractive cities? Being less wealthy doesn’t mean a job is less valuable. Police officers, firefighters, bakers, artists, nurses… currently struggle living in attractive cities because they

What’s so good about owning? Renting is way better, if it’s affordable: - I can move out when my life circumstances change. - I can move out when the district changes. - I don’t need to take a credit just for living somewhere. - I don’t nee

Nope, because the market doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t care if you have a place to live, if you are healthy, if you are safe… Not restricting "the market" at all leads to a worse life for humans.

Freezing rents is not meant to be a solution for a lack of housing. It’s a solution to the explosive increase of rents of existing ones. There are lots of people where the rents of their current apartment have increased so much, that they h
