Nice little story on a cafe in New Orleans transitioning to [[worker co-op]], working with [[Cooperation New Orleans]].

Interesting critique of [[worker coops]]. Main argument seems to be that they remove people from union organising and class struggle.

https://organizing.work/2021/01/you-cant-win-without-a-fight-why-worker-cooperatives-are-a-bad-strategy/

cooperatives retreat from the direct struggle between workers and owners to instead build worker-owners.

Not sure I get it… thoughts?

Interview with Omana George of [[Electronics Watch]].

She discusses some of the problems in [[electronics supply chains]], and the general anti-union and anti-organising practices of tech firms.

• Restart Podcast Ep. 60: Helping electronics workers improve conditions

• a nation is an inherently exclusive phenomena and defines itself in opposition to what it is

  • what counts as American in the US is often defined by what it is not. black people were not properly American until relatively recently, for example

• A socialist nation is therefore a contradiction

• most nations in Europe are younger than the US

  • although "France" or "Germany" pre-date the existence of the US, their governments and nationalisms do not

• it’s hard to blame the Russian or German social democrats for participating in the state when both countries were autocracies where even nominal representation in government was a novelty

• A lot of US leftists believe in what amounts to an inverted American exceptionalism
