I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
Again, early days. But inevitable once the tooling matures.
Loomio: A collaborative decision-making tool that facilitates inclusive and democratic processes within organizations, enhancing cooperative governance.
Platform 6: A project aimed at building a community of cooperative development, providing virtual spaces for co-ops and cooperators to support each other.
OpenDesk: A platform offering open-source furniture designs, enabling local makers to produce and distribute custom furniture globally.
Provenance: A blockchain-based platform that ensures supply chain transparency, allowing cooperatives to build consumer trust by verifying the ethical origins of their products.
Wevolver: A platform facilitating global collaboration on open-source hardware projects, fostering cooperative innovation in various technological fields.
DisCO (Distributed Cooperative Organizations): An initiative combining cooperative principles with decentralized technologies to create scalable, distributed networks for shared work and resources.
Agricultural Data Cooperatives: Platforms like AgriDigital use blockchain to provide transparent and decentralized systems for farmers, enabling cooperatives to manage supply chains more efficiently.
Hive (Worker Cooperative): A worker-owned cooperative utilizing decentralized tools to operate rideshare services, demonstrating tech-enabled logistics and local ownership.
The Commons Engine: Leverages blockchain technology and Holochain to create decentralized networks for cooperative resource sharing and value exchange.
3D Hubs: A decentralized manufacturing network connecting makers and cooperatives worldwide to produce custom parts locally, reducing barriers in the manufacturing sector.
CommonsCloud: A cooperative cloud computing platform offering open-source tools for businesses and organizations to collaborate globally without relying on centralized tech giants.
Resonate: A cooperative music streaming platform that uses blockchain and open-source technology to create a scalable, equitable alternative to traditional streaming services.
FabLabs: A global network of decentralized fabrication laboratories using open-source designs and shared tools to empower local production and cooperative innovation.
CoopCycle: A federation of bike delivery cooperatives using shared open-source logistics software, allowing cooperatives to scale their operations efficiently.
You have not proven scalability of cooperativr, horizontalist large industry and the lack of necessity for violence in revolution, or threat of violence, at any stage.
Of course I have. Probably just hard to accept you missed the most obvious choice. A revolution which is based on violence and murder can only lead to tyranny. But hey I’m sure it’ll be different this time. And even if it is. Where do you think we’ll go from there? More centralisation?
You kept showing small scale cooperatives, then large scale digital cooperative functions, none of which proved the existence of large scale industrial cooperatives.
Either way, I take the Marxist stance, that the way forward is full public ownership and democratization, so that all of humanity can work together along a common plan, not via competition. Mastering Capital will be Humanity’s real first step into a new historic era.
I showed it via other means. Large scale industrial cooperatives are not here yet.
Considering you didn’t even know this was a stance yesterday, or a foundation of anarchism. I suggest you get back to reading. The agora is the natural organisation for humans.
You did not, in fact, show large scale industrial production done in a horizontalist, cooperative manner. You have not convinced me that I should leaern about Agorism to begin with.
I’d maybe start with some Tolstoy or Mutualism to ease yourself in ;)
The lack of fully scaled examples doesn’t negate the validity of cooperative production, it underscores the need for innovation and persistence. The systems you critique are still maturing, but their potential reflects a historic shift, much like the early failures of capitalism eventually gave way to dominant industrial systems. To dismiss these efforts outright is to overlook humanity’s capacity for ingenuity and reinvention.
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
