"I suggest 6 principles for economic democracy, mirroring the 6 principles of economic aristocracy:

1. Enlightenment: Because all persons are created equal, the economic rights of employees and the community are equal to those of capital owners."

What does economic democracy look like according to Prout? We'll post five thoughts on this subject over the next few days. #EconomicDemocracy #economia #HumanRights #democracy

@joetourist
These were not questions to play smart-ass, but perhaps a path to conclude that the great Tommy Douglas, with the concept of Economic Democracy provided Canada with an extremely efficient and media-friendly meme replacing 'collectivism' and 'socialism', that could spread because it neutralized anti-collectivist memes present in many North-American brains merely by the words it was made of.
This man may be a national treasure. :blobcat:

An interesting take on 'local economy' from a relatively mainstream source. Local economy (and dismay at Trump's interference) are becoming popular ideas. Click to read more. Prout has always supported strong local, balanced and decentralized economies. #EconomicDemocracy

One of the most counter-intuitive justifications for refusing to stop mindlessly competing and work co-operatively toward a shared common good is that it is more of a strain, takes more effort, with less return on investment than working alone.

The rationale most often heard is that the person is sick, disabled, tired, beaten down, overwhelmed, with the implication being that somehow a shared burden is heavier?

Based on that logic, extended families, communities, tribes, villages, towns would never form except by coercion.

It is a circle that cannot be squared.

Richard Wolff, an American economist and professor emeritus at UMass Amherst, is known for his sharp critiques of economic inequality and his advocacy for worker cooperatives. Through his books, lectures, and public talks, he champions economic democracy and explores alternative economic models that empower workers and challenge the status quo.

Housing Cooperatives are:

•Collectively-owned
•Non-profit
•Democratically-controlled
•Community-building

Housing co-ops should be a key part of any solution to end the housing crisis. I'm glad this article goes into the specifics of how they work in Barcelona.

2025 if going to be a wild ride. I pledge to exploit every opportunity to push this crazy system towards peace, love, and equality. I'll look for every opportunity to nudge it in that direction, and look to sabotage the efforts of those who look to do economic violence. Hope you'll join me. #economicdemocracy

"The idea here is to impose rules that limit the quantity of finance that commercial banks can invest in problem sectors. For example, credit guidance can be used to scale down commercial investment in fossil fuel production on a binding, annual schedule. But it can also be used to reduce other destructive and unnecessary industries: SUVs, mansions, cruise ships, private jets, industrial beef, dangerous plastics, fast fashion, weapons, advertising, etc.

To grasp the power of this, and why it is needed, we need to understand something about money. Money represents command over production. Whoever issues currency – whoever creates money – can mobilize production to do whatever they want. This power is held by states and should be understood as a public good. After all, what is at stake is the mobilization of our collective labour and the common resources of our planet. But under capitalism, the power of money creation is largely franchised out to commercial banks that create money in the form of credit when they make loans."

#Socialism #EconomicDemocracy #Capitalism: "The socialist response is to demand collective, democratic ownership of society’s productive resources so that the ultrarich are no longer able to hoard the wealth generated by the working class. This will allow society to ensure that everyone’s basic needs are met, and to make more rational decisions about investment and production — prioritizing ecological sustainability, for instance, over the destructive pursuit of profit at all costs.

This vision is not an expression of covetousness or “hate” of the better off. It is a demand for a world where basic principles of justice and decency prevail. By chalking up the socialist desire for a redistribution of wealth and power to envy, the Right dodges the fundamental moral question at issue between socialists and their opponents: Who deserves what? Are the “idle drones” entitled to the wealth the working class produces, or does the world belong to the workers?"
