We can do better than capitalism. Our Media: Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff, David Harvey, Anti-Capitalist Chronicles, Capitalism Hits Home, All Things Co-op, Understanding Socialism, Understanding Marxism

From the recent Bad Faith podcast. Gonna read up on them. Seems like a decent first step towards full communism, with the added benefit of I don't think people have an immune response to the term.

"Democratize the workforce" is pretty close to "seize the means of production". I'll take it, for now.

    Co-ops are not only good, they are the logical first step towards socialism. The immediate economic benefits are higher wages, better job security, better working conditions. But far more importantly, the political benefit is that real economic power shifts to the working class.

    People saying co-ops are revisionism or whatever are missing the point. Co-ops dont bring about Marxist socialism, but they definitely do a lot of the heavy lifting in generating improving people's lives, giving them real power, and acting as a starting point for socialism.
