    Leftists need to get behind and spread the word about the cooperative movement/solidarity economy/whatever else they're calling it these days. Worker's coops, community land trusts, etc

    In particular because my hyperconservative dad just spent 10 minutes gushing about his utility coop, and when jokingly asked whether that's socialism just brushed it off. Even though, yeah, that's literally #socialism

      @socalledunitedstates I mean, no, coops aren't socialism. They still operate within capitalism and pursue profit. But, yes, we should pursue them anyway because anarcho-syndicalism is a solid path toward communism and, at the very least, coops do capitalism better than hierarchical companies and generally treat worker-owners waaaaaay better.
