Worker co-ops? You mean like literally owning the means of production is "Liberal Insanity Shithole" hasan-ok-dude

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 19 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Okay but quite a few people here would probably point out that co-ops are not actually socialism within a capitalist framework.

wolff-shining *Angry noises*

Yeah it's the closest thing to socialism on this list, but still not socialism lmao

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

Bro at least it’s more socialist than the Mughal Empire lmao

Yeah I mean REI is a worker coop that has a contentious relationship with its own labor union. They've been in a multi-year dispute with the Union only until recently I think.

Wait, what happened recently? I hadn't heard there was an update to the situation

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well my point was moot actually because they are a retail coop not a workers coop.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

That doesn't seem like it should be possible even of the worker's coop sucked. You learn something new every day. I'm gonna look that up.

Edit: edited it so it sounds less like im accusing you of lying and more like im confused by this new fact.

Edit 2: Ah. REI is(/was? It's not entirely clear) apparently a consumer coop. Something like the British Coop stores or Coop Norden in Scandinavia. The customers are meant to own a share.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh fuck, that's right. I forgot all about that. Well ignore me then lmao! Clearly in this case, the customer isn't always right.

In retail as the number of transactions increase the rightness of the costumer approaches zero
