@interfluidity @dushman Isn't that what socialism historically was? "Worker's ownership of the means of production"
@georgia I just watched Sita Sings the Blues with my mum
@lain @mangeurdenuage do they actually?
Has anyone got a download for Sita Sings The Blues that works while the Internet Archive is offline?

I'm not a scientist but I'm not sure that a popularity contest is the best proxy for scientific importance. I admit that I can't think of another way that's objectively measurable though.
@lain @mangeurdenuage would you be okay with unions that are / if they were completely voluntary organisations that had no contacts in government at all?
If socialism is public ownership of the means of production and capitalism is private ownership of the means of production, then what is “social democracy”, a “mixed economy”? The factory is either owned by the state, or it is not. Where is the middle ground?
What about cooperatives? Why does everyone assume companies have to be either owned by the state or by capitalists who don’t work there?
hop on mumble
