If you want a more egalitarian workplace I’m afraid the only solution is to remove the capitalists siphoning off the surplus value created by the labor of the workers. Co-ops are one way to do this on the small scale, but especially in the US they will have a hard time competing with giant corporations which is why they aren’t common anymore: they’ve largely been driven out of most markets by much larger entities.

they’ve largely been driven out of most markets by ~~much larger entities~~ failure to enforce antitrust law.

FTFY.

  Indeed. It’s frankly surprising that they’re pursuing antitrust cases against Google and Meta now, cause since the break-up of AT&T we’ve spent a lot of years not giving a shit about how anti-competitive giant corporations are.

    Google and Meta started hurting other giant corporations though. That’s a big no no.

    And Walmart isn’t? I bet Kroger and Aldi would have something to say about their entry into the grocery market.
