Comment on I'll give 100% when I work for a co-op that is equally owned by all the workers.

  They’ve designed the system intentionally this way, to keep people dependant on them.

    Agreed. It’s very hard to beat the system from within. And their arguments only make sense within it.

    Now if only there was a way to break the system… 🤔

  That’s not a natural outcome. That’s an artificially created made up barrier. That does not justify capitalists. That shows how they have purposefully rigged the system to be reliant on them.

  Systematically unfair system requires us to continue unchanged to the advantage of an incredibly small number dbags who own everything already, ‘cuz they have all the money to invest’. Good critical thought dude.

    Oh don’t get me wrong, it’s a thoroughly unjust system. That is just their argument for perpetuating it. (I could definitely have phrased it better)

    And I also believe it’s rigged.

    Which means that the only way to win is to break the rules, or play a different game, which sounds more ominous than intended. But I do believe we need to do away with capitalism, or the very least capitalists. Either the $1 billion “you win” cap, or just a wholly different way of economic organisation. Other options are available, but few are as civil.
