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.
I’d like to start a side discussion - would commenters rather see mass co-operatisation of the workplace, or mass involvement in MILITANT trade unionism? I would argue that the latter can apply more pressure to the wider capitalist system and the bourgeois state.
Coops are better than unions. Militant unions are better than coops. Militant coops would be better than militant unions. We need a militant cooperatism. If you're not using your cooperative voting rights to choose to give the whole office time off to bolster a union picket line, are you even part of a mass labor movement?
Also coops should be giving each other huge preferential discounts. If you're going to try to seize power through market means, the very least you could do is cheat.
co-operatize your local militia
