There would generally be mandatory meetings for workers to attend that would allow for debates on the trajectory of the company. The state would "own" it but the workers would still direct it.
In a very very small way, it is like what Germany does with large corporations. They require a percentage of the board of directors be actual workers so it's not just a bunch of capitalist parasites making decisions that would hurt workers just to boost their own portfolios/profits.
"Then there’s no journalistic accountability when they do get caught with their hand in the cookie jar."
Literally Fox ~~News~~ Entertainment when brought to court over Tucker Carlsons bullshit...
"We're not news we're Entertainment™©®, no reasonable person would believe what Mr.Carlson is saying is true." So they don't need to have any integrity whatsoever...
An individual can't own the means of production, it's supposed to be "owned" by the people. I'm not a communist, but that argument never changed.
It's pretty much the story of Arsenal Gear in Metal Gear Solid 2 lol
Kojima always had a way of seeing into the not so distant future and pretty much nailing it.
I love that I have the option to vote for people on specific platforms in NY. I can show support for the Working Families Party while still voting for Democrats as the politicians can run under multiple parties so I'm not just tossing away a vote just to send a message
If he's actually serious about this I can't believe how anyone could possibly believe he is actually a democrat... It's like every single thing he does helps Republicans and the ~~parasite~~ donor class. I feel like all I ever read is "Manchin shoots down Democrats attempt to xyz" constantly... Hell even your comment shows how conservatives like him more than liberals. In my mind he's always been a selfish spoiler.
That's why they increased the price. They know soon you won't have a choice
Duckduckgo is a wrapper for bing? No wonder it sucks... I want to like it, but the results are usually pretty bad in comparison to Google. Takes me much longer to find what I'm looking for with DDG. :/
"I just cannot believe that there are decent people left in the country who vote Republican."
The problem is that the vast majority of them don't see this in the same way we do, they get their messaging from propaganda outlets that tell them our description of what is happening is completely wrong and revisionist, taking the bite of of the accusation we lay against them as well.
They can be completely well meaning and just want "real history" to be taught, trusting their kids will be intelligent enough to sort out what was really bad or really good. They'll also try to look elsewhere and say "see white people were slaves too, some countries enslave their own people, it's not about racism!" They run with whatever messaging they're given and truly think they are "good people." They can be good people while still being mislead and spouting garbage...
I'll never believe ALL Republicans are hot garbage terrible people. I was once a 9/11 truther, I once fell down the rabbit holes of various conspiracies, so I have "faith" that a lot of these people are well meaning and are mislead, that they may at some point finally see what they've been told is just a lie. It takes time and a conscious effort to pay attention. I'm an absolute complete and utter moron and if I can climb out of that hole so can others, there isn't one single, tiny, iota of a thing that makes me special or intelligent if anything there's more reason to believe I couldn't escape the rabbit holes.
Then of course there are the hate filled, literal Nazis waving actual Nazi flags... There's no defense for them lol
I don't have a link for it, but I read that YouTube is working on a 3 strikes policy for anyone using AdBlock programs... So after the 3rd warning you're not able to watch anything on YouTube at all...
I almost wish it was that simple. Unfortunately it's more about greed and the vast majority of politicians being owned by those with real power (money).
It's not a right vs left thing it's a right AND corporate left vs the tiny percentage of DSA Democrats that actually want to get a universal/single payer system up and running... I'm not usually a "BoTh SiDeS" guy but in this case it absolutely is. We have a LOT of shitty corporate Democrats unfortunately... The GOP is completely a lost cause though.
It's such an uphill battle because the vast majority of BOTH parties need the ~~Parasite~~ Owning Class™ to back them, and some count on the extremely well paid board member type jobs they're given after they serve in government. The types of jobs handed out so that they can argue they don't accept bribes and haven't been paid by anyone (yet...) It's a gross loophole that really needs to be addressed.
I saw a post "Lemmy seems to have way more leftists than xyz." So I wouldn't be surprised to find it's political nonsense, people attacking a site they see as "the left."
