RE: Democracy at work - dr. Richard Wolff
The worker always invests in the business.
In a capitalist business that investment goes to the shareholders.
You are right about needing to find the right workers.
Many workers are still brainwashed into this adversarial position;
That can be difficult to break out of.
Still, It can be done by most people.
In a workers' coop, the workers would be the shareholders (or simply owners, depending on the corporate structuring). So there's room for a coop in a capitalist society. In fact, I was curious, because a worker's coop is certainly attractive in its own way. If you are in North America, visit https://usworker.coop/member-directory/ and you can browse a number of workers' coops in the US.
That right there are some in the US. I want to see more It is much more difficult to get them funded where I feel cryptocurrency can help.
