    Crazy idea, but imagine if we took that idea and expanded it to other public services.

    I know, madness. Never mind.

      It is absolutely ridiculous that we have cooperatives in many sectors that have all shown to be effective and it is all overshadowed by shitty capitalists like Musk. Although I don’t exclusively shop at coops and employee owned businesses, the ones I do shop at have the best customer service and are not more expensive than comparable businesses.

      that’s called syndicalism. not only is it communism, it’s strongly associated with(spooky sound effects) anarchism. I’m sorry, you’ll have to be shot for suggesting it.
