A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

They actually kinda legally DO have to follow fiduciary duty towards their shareholders. If their shareholders were also all the workers of the company, this then wouldn't be a conflict to pay them more, right? But that's actually literally socialism and that's why socialism is a boogeyman

Worker coops are not socialism though. It's technically capitalism, and it's not something you'd see Fox railing about.

They just don't arise much in the current system of stuff.

Worker co-ops are indeed socialism if all the shareholders are also workers, because it's the workers owning the company (means of production).
