Yeah capitalism has always been filth.
I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.
We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Maximize shareholder wealth psychopathy.
We need #creditunions and #workercoops now! Fuck capitalists.
:TwinPines: The GEO Collective has been covering #WorkerCoops and the #SolidarityEconomy for nearly 40 years. Help make sure we can keep it up for another 40 with a one-time or recurring contribution. Thank you!
:TwinPines: Worker-Owned News Outlets Are Changing the Media Industry
"Many employee-owned media companies also take little or no money from advertisers. For instance, in 2023, Morning Brew reported that Defector got 95 percent of its revenue from subscribers during its first year..."

We were rather negligent last year in our fundraising efforts, so we're trying to make up for that now as our funds are running a bit low. The upside is that our procrastination on asking for contributions gave us time to switch away from PayPal 🥳
If you've got a few dollars you can spare to help support coverage of #WorkerCoops and the #SolidarityEconomy, we promise to put them to good work. :TwinPines:

We also have extensive connections with tech co-ops around the world so pretty much anything you can imagine can be built and maintained as entirely outside of the surveillance capitalist system as possible.
We can't always offer as cheap prices as the megacorps but I'm sure you know why that is.
We what can offer is a sustainable alternative sector with thousands of highly skilled workers.
No CEOs, no surveillance, no venture capital. No bullshit.
#workercoops are a vital part of us organising towards a better world based on solidarity not profit.
Boycott and divest from the big U.S. tech monopolies.
Autonomic can help. We offer managed hosting and support for open source infrastructure that can be hosted around the world.
From a mainstream provider in Germany, a privacy focussed provider in Iceland to a Worker Co-op provider in the UK, or something physically in your local space. Your server infrastructure can live in a safe place.

Thanks Sarah! Yes! They were one of my first follows!
@Veggies - do let me know if there are other #WorkersCoops/ #WorkerCoops folks I should be following on the fediverse!
Hello world! #introduction time!
We are workers.coop. We're a federation and network of worker-led cooperatives and supporters, based in the #UK.
This account is a bit of an experiment (by @da5nsy, for now) but the plan is to post information about news and events, and boost cool things related to #WorkerCoops and the wider #cooperative movement.
In his _Letter from a Birmingham Jail_, #MartinLutherKing emphasizes the importance of #EconomicJustice alongside #SocialJustice and criticizes how white supremacy is happy to take wealth from the hands of Black folks as customers while refusing to provide them with good jobs.
I just ran the numbers for one of my tech #WorkerCooperatives with open-comp + opt-in for self-identifying along several axes.
Non-white team members comprise 53% of our staff and receive ~56% of our total compensation.
