Here is one. Amazon-unlike scheme, organised through a chain of interconnected cooperatives. Entire ecosystem (value chain), ie inputs and supply chain, management, transport, etc all organised in a cooperative arrangement. Stakeholder ownership, where an individual’s share does not exceed 1%.

Every time this man speaks, my blood boils. But then again, he is part of a long line of so-called French ‘leaders’, trained in the same institution, taught to plunder. He just happens to vocalise his racism with no filter or restraint.

You & other progressive politicians need to rebuild your party from ground up to present structured resistance. There can be no doubt that your party’s failure to connect with working people & the young is what led to Trump. You all need to forget DC & go on the road to listen, resist & organise.

Enjoying it...Very much so. Looking forward to the hopeful end...also asked 'my' students at UCL to read the book together...and discuss it at the end of the term

Currently in the thick of this wonderful book. The Lucas aerospace story made me cry. Neoliberal policies have squandered endless possibilities and crushed so many hopes.

Shout out Michelle. Way too dignified. Self-respect is too precious to throw away for the sake of ‘obeying’ some bullshit convention.

I am with you all the way, though I have a different understanding of anarchism. They certainly are narcissistic pillocks, devoid of any moral fabric.

Thanks. Will read. Seems like relevant book to make sense of places where rapturous change happens.

Yep. when some advocate investing in services to serve all, they scream "class war"; when small efforts are made to 'correct' historical wrongs of racism, they shout "wokism"; but when the rich extract huge wealth from the poorest, they say "it's the way of the market". Bollocks!
