Amazon: I see you just bought one coat rack; would you like to start your coat rack collection with these other coat racks?

Most people don’t have the distinction between blue and cyan despite the fact that it is the same distance as red is from yellow. :/

They still have online and broadcast service.

Use a tailscale tunnel instead, or at least as backup.

Technically it’s already partially in Mozilla Firefox via Firefox Quantum.

Minor correction: Blink is the browser engine, Chromium is the open source browser project.

Almost like something happens every 4-8 years. hmm

As a Mutualist, I firmly disagree. Coöps are essentially a democratic alternative to top-down coercive management styles or forms of ownership. It is a mutualist system that is antithetical to competition.

Take a renter’s coöp for example. Essentially everyone owns their building and they aren’t competing with other buildings or have shareholders would expect a return on investment.

With coöps you can actually respect locality. Large auth-socialist systems will often have with people competing interests who have undo control over local systems. That isn’t to say broader standards shouldn’t exist, but that they should be done thru voluntary industry wide syndication.

You don’t have to. If it becomes capital, then it is subject to the same multi-stakeholder analysis.

If I bought a printer, it would just be a commodity. If I start selling products made from said printer and hire more people, then it would need to be a worker coöp.

How would an authoritarian socialist system handle someone wanting a printer given that it could be used as capital?

*Capital markets. Commodity markets are fine as long as you align stakeholders with ownership. So worker and consumer coöps. Rental and housing coöps are a great example.

Not if it is a socialized market that disallows corporate ownership in favor of consumer coöperative ownership.

I like to take a Mutualist position on it. Things should only be socialized to their direct stakeholders. So most companies would be worker coöps. Utilities would be consumer worker coöps. And large interstate transit would be federal. Universal healthcare would fall into the later as a largescale consumer coöp.

I’d argue if Trump gets his way and becomes dictator for life. That’s more right authoritarian than left authoritarian.
