Reading about FOSS philosophy, degoogling, becoming against corporations, and now a full-blown woke communist (like Linus Torvalds)

    In India we have a corporation named AMUL. It is collectively run by 3.6 Million farmers. It has wide variety of dairy products such as milk, yoghurt, ice cream, chocolates etc. If farmers can… Then what’s wrong in believing we can.

    Edit, its not 5000, it is 3.6 Million milk producers

      No problem with that! That’s actually a great thing, in my opinion. The problem, however would be a government run by any specific group of people with any specific properties other than their abilities. Because otherwise it would inevitably lead to dictatorship, as it has been tried many times throughout the history.

      In short:
      corporations run by workers -> Good!
      governments run specifically by workers/corporations/religious institutions/rich people/etc -> No, please no!

      Everyone should be able to participate in running and managing our society.

        “Worker” isn’t a specific group

        It’s everyone. We are all workers

        Workers controlling the state means absolute democracy for all.

          Ok, fair enough. So, everyone should be allowed, regardless of their way of thinking, to participate in managing the society. Right?
          (right?)

          (Also, in general, regardless of who governs, the government still should not, under any circumstances, limit individual liberties and human rights, free access to information, etc, since these are very basic stuff and should not be overridden by any socio-economic system.)
