Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

    So where do Co-ops fall, one where all the workers own everything equally and vote on hiring and firing etc?

      That would be socialism because the power and profit of the company are eventually distributed throughout the workforce regardless of their capital investment.

      Socialism. Plenty of models that use or aspire to that system, especially when it’s part of a larger capitalist society and one can’t expect the workers to change it all.

      Few large coops are truly equal partnerships or that democratic though.

      Generally speaking, what prevents it from falling under capitalism is non-transferable ownership stakes. Otherwise the workers can sell their stake and the system inevitably declines into capital interests hiring employees instead of a partnership.
