I wouldnt be so critical if a socialist had a home they rented or shop they owned and said it wasnt a socialist action. From there you can address it. Actions exist in context of success and i judge that less that the pretense its any different. The conflation that is is to avoid crit though...oof

I have never given cause to doubt my convictions. I empathize with the reality of our system, and think not every action a socialist takes needs to be socialist either. But the moment you say it is and insist thT the workers are wrong for demanding a say, you have chosen a side which defines you.

I can say with some certainty that a worker cooperative with no path to ownership is just a board of directors hiring contracters with exploitable labor. Not a worker coop. Worker ownership doesnt need to be equal share, but it does mean a vote. Without that, it cant be argued it is socialist.

I love how new audiences continue to discover & appreciate this diagram from my 2014 book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (@pegasus-books.bsky.social). Before including it in the book, I imagined, calculated, & drew it, then asked a physicist to peer-review it. Physics, math, & paleontology made fun! 🧪🦕🤮
