    I’ve sat on a meeting in a big corporation where one of the middle managers straight up said that if you’re not growing as a company, you are stagnating. How that math works in the long run was not covered.

    That’s what we’re up against.

      The typical workplace is employers: owners, shareholders & their management section, who are the minority decision makers. And the employees who are the majority (sometimes in the hundreds of thousands), but don’t have any decisions about the running of the business

      That system is not democratic

      In a democratic work environment (a cooperative) the majority would not choose to move the business to where the labour was cheaper

      We are up against capitalism
