The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses. In return for giving more to their employer, they expect more back.
There is a book “From Mondragon to America” which goes into excruciating detail about how it all works. It’s not just a few factories there are credit unions, food coops and more all doing business together.
think we’re Communists
It’d be cooler if you were.
But definitely cooperatives would be a HUGE improvement over what we have now.
That’s corporate socialism, not communism. As someone who lives in the US, I don’t know anyone who would call that communism. #americabad I guess?
I live in a red state, it is common to call any collective action communism. It’s common historically for the right to call collective action or ownership communism.
I think the term they used is best: co-operative
You must have a very very very narrow group of people around you.
