I dunno how collective ownership of the workplace isn't materialistic.

I get that cooperatism is bad and not revolutionary, but it is the farthest left possible project within the bourgeois framework of the American state. I'm wondering what Matt thinks of Lamumba's project to turn Jacksonville into a cooperatively run economy.

It's just a grognardy armchairism technicality because it's based in preconfiguring some material relations within a non-revolutionary society, and the fact that he's really going hard to bully black socialists trying to DO SOMETHING while he's a patreon aristo is sus af

I take more issue with BSA's attempts to paint it as some sort of Soviet dual power scheme.

Coops can't get around the fact that they still have to operate in a capitalistic framework. They're still producing for exchange, and they still have to compete against traditionally capitalist businesses. There's no possible way, in our current conditions, for large scale cooperatives to exist

No, there's definitely a possible way for large scale cooperatives to exist. The problem is that as with Mondragon, they still have to operate along the profit motive - meaning at some level they need an exploitable labor source. I think Mayor Lamumba's attempt has a lot of promise because you're a lot more likely to succeed using governmental power and sanction to cooperatize local businesses.

I agree

I didn't mean to imply that a large scale cooperative can't exist, I meant more that you can't have large swaths of the economy consisting of coops

But I agree that Project Jackson is good. More because it's an expansion of the coop model to an entire community

Personally what I enjoy about worker cooperatives is they avoid one of the root sources of bullshit, namely the powers-that-be within a organization perpetuating their own power and interests at the cost of the workers' well-being. Within a capitalist framework, I'd call that a straight upgrade over an alternative organizational structure.

You say this but it's locked to all outsiders, admission is subject to a stringent ideological purity test, and it allegedly purged 90% of it's posting base in 2012. There is near-zero chat about it on the outside. The only way to learn anything about it or what it was like is to read old Rhizzone posts and they are uh, not flattering.
