"Economic Democracy: arguments from the US" for workers' self-management and against the employer-employee contract

Economic democracy is a philosophy that shows that all workers have an inalienable right to workplace democracy/workers' self-management/worker coops. The employer-employee contract violates that right even if employment is fully voluntary. An inalienable right is a right that can't be given up or transferred even with consent

"Zoë Hitzig | What is quadratic funding?" - A democratic mechanism that a postcapitalist society could use to allocate resources to public goods, so they're available to each according to need

Quadratic funding is an allocation mechanism that allocates more resources to projects that are more popular than projects that are supported by well-resourced concentrated few. It has the potential to solve problems in campaign finance, journalism and FOSS

Members of The Squad and other progressives running in Democratic primaries are targets of the pro-Israel group largely funded by Republicans and Trump donors

Their attempts at propaganda are so bad it's actually ridiculous.

Democrats in Michigan voted “uncommitted” in their presidential primary Tuesday to demonstrate their opposition to the president’s support of Israel in the Gaza war. It isn’t that simple in California’s primary. California leaders with the Council on American-Islamic Relations are calling for Democratic voters to leave the presidential race blank.

Destiny does a Destiny, and Noah Samsen makes fun of him for it.

I'm starting to think that a lot of #atheist #leftist misunderstand #religion. I went to church today. It wasn't amazing but I did enjoy it. I think that religion, especially in the west, largely isnt about faith anymore. I enjoyed going to church because I saw people I knew, I saw people I didn't. There was music.

It was a reason to gather.

There is a massive, totally legal bribery scheme driving up drug prices in America. And pharmacy benefit managers-shady middlemen you've probably never heard of-are right at the center.

I’m 100% sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.

In any just society, basic human necessities are 100% socialized.

Tankies are against the rules here, if you are a moderator, you are supposed to enforce the rules, not remove them.

Fucking nuts. Every single one of them. Even the two people at the end.
