       Basically workers co-ops and unions are imposing some democratic structure onto an economy which ain't.Maybe we can start building some of the technologies we can use when we get rid of this capitalism nonsense right now.

       So we can respect the critique that worker co-ops aren't that revolutionary in and of themselves but also recognise that they are vital experiments as to a better way of running things whilst also supporting more revolutionary aspects of the struggle.

       @kawaiipunk any leftist movement that can last more than a generation or two is revolutionary social technology all by itself.

       @kawaiipunk i don't mean to say that more radical things aren't possible or can't be done at the present time. however, there is some historical precedent that the change from one economic system to another takes a long time. post-capitalism will have to coexist with capitalism for at least a generation (or more). whatever we build, it has to be a lot more durable than everything that has been done in the past. the People need a much longer attention span to move beyond scarcity i think.

       We need insurrections and uprisings yes but we also need infrastructure to support those in the streets and in those times in between the big waves when we are resting and licking our wounds.We can't just be part time activists. We need to create a democratic liberatory culture in all parts of our lives from our workplaces to our relationships to the things we need to do to get away from it all.We need to struggle on all fronts all of the time if we have any chance of turning this sinking ship of the human race around.
