The Caring Capitalist - Brazil

[braaitongs]

It seems that hey work almost like our company. This is innovation! it is giving people max freedom and relying on their integrity to do the necessary work. Big companies are far to rigid. I will never beable to work for a corporate. The guy says, people can go home when work is done, to me this is so obvious, it needs not to be even said. But try to do this in big corporate and you would get fired. It is a completely free market solution. and I think they are far more efficient.

[DeLorean4]

I've always wanted hammocks in my workspace. ALWAYS.

[ratside]

Das ist echter Kapitalismus ! Echte Freiheit ohne Zentralistische Chef abteilung. So könnte auch ein Staat aussehen behandelt uns nicht wie Kinder die nicht für sich selbst sorgen können. Kauft euch mal Mises Hayek und Roland Baader. Und es geht dort auch um Profit nich in dem Sinne das die Firma Profit macht sondern die Mitarbeiter Geld verdienen. Das ist die Natur des Menschen.

[lscali17]

First everyone works on commission. Second millitary psychology here. People fight for their friends that is why recuits are encourage to enlist with their friends. Here peer presure keeps people working hard and inline. Here good ideas are not stolen by supervisor. Very healthy model not like Japanese model where workers drop dead at their work station they even have a name for it.

[LaharlD2]

@lscali17 And your supervisors don't give jack shit if they steal your good idea, do they and make big benefits off it? A lot of supervisors, managers, and Ceos live by the ideology "Why pay for it when I can get it for free" ...

[MetroConsPlace]

@LaharlD2 Your good ideas belong to the company if you have it at work

[ianrkav]

Now, there's a company I would like to work with:-)

[indefiance24]

This isn't socialism, this is volunteerism/agorism . Very Awesome!

[hilletehnoob]

if the system is good it will spread,if it's not...well it won't.

[hilletehnoob]

this marxists/socialist ideas are all great and all that but i want to see the results,if they are better than before or not.

[cordoovab]

Can I get a job?

[QuatFax]

Socialism is worker control over production. It is not inherently opposed to the free market, and many socialists (including my self) are actually free market libertarians. So Semco is definitely on the road to socialism. And that is a good thing!

[razvaNazdravan]

this should be universal. it is more fair and more humane. FUCK BOSSES!

[CiaranPaulRoche]

The TPS reports never get filed in this company.

[Jigaboo123456]

@CascadiaCommons To answer you question regarding military and capitalist systems.

I would make an analogy beween Cemco and the British Special Air Service, the Army SF unit widely regarded as the best there is. It is the most relaxed unit in British armed forces in terms of traditional discipline. Officers and other ranks address each other by first name,individuals make many important decisions for themselves, and all ranks are expected to perform without close supervision

[Jigaboo123456]

Private soldiers are given great responsibilities and command decisions at all levels are often made after consultation with subordinates. However, the individuals are highly motivated and have a great self-discipline. Once in the SAS, you are always expected to perform, and a non-performer will be "sacked" by his superiors, often on the recommendation of a subordinate. (an experienced Trooper (Private) would be listened to by a Colonel if he thought a Captain was below standard)

[Jigaboo123456]

In other units, generally such a system would be a disaster, although the better units can adapt some of the techniques.SAS selection is designed to weed out those unsuitable psychologically as well as physically.

I think the same is true in business, perhaps-- this company apparently works, it may be because they have exceptional people who, like the SAS, have had the unsuitable filtered out, and peer pressure weeds out those whose standards slip.

[hilletehnoob]

@Jigaboo123456 yeah,the company only works because they were carefull hiring the best,i also don't think that this systems are sustainable to the big majority of people or to any profession like the military,military personel need discipline for example.

[Jigaboo123456]

This is very much like communism-- which may work with these people but which fails miserably with the majority of humanity.

I think the same is true in business, perhaps-- this company apparently works, it may be because they have exceptional people who, like the SAS, have had the unsuitable filtered out, and peer pressure weeds out those whose standards slip.

[CanoPinto]

Mr Semler is a capitalist, but he did a socialist revolution in his own company to avoid bankruptcy. In 1990, The Brazilian economy went into a severe downturn. Workers at Semco agreed to wage cuts, providing their share of profits was increased to 39%, management salaries were cut by 40% and employees were given the right to approve every item of expenditure. As of 2003, Semco had annual revenue of $212 million, from $4 million in 1982 and $35 million in 1994!!

[siviya05]

This is great piece of work. We are implementing this in our corporate office .

Gurpreet singh siviya

[ANTIDALLARD]

I simply dont believe it.

[Gushara]

Bravo to those who work to change the paradigm! Find it interesting that those commenting have the need to label this new method of "work". I see individuals taking responsibility, accountability and awareness for their own contribution to a social act......which is not what we have currently here in the US. We function under the auspices of authority in negative administration. Change is needed. This is an excellent example of possibility.

[flagship21]

Mmmmmmmmmm that girl on the phone in black is hotttttttttttt >>>>>>>>>>> brasil !!!!!!!

[SamPD2]

Huh, a working hybrid of both capitalism and socialism...

Interesting...

[m4trix87]

@SamPD2 Actually it is free market but not capitalism-in capitalism the minority owns the means of production and decides,therefore creating wages->wage slavery.

This is free-market socialism.

Yes,it is possible.

[m4trix87]

@CascadiaCommons Yes.

Capitalism means private and individual ownershipof means of production,whichy means the non-owners must accept the owners' terms or starve.Therefore it is inherently authoritarian.

[12Eco1]

Transparency makes this system work

[m4trix87]

@12Eco1 And sense of community-team.

[terrymkar]

I guess if you are a Thief, You should be Congratulated. Is that Right from a Liberal POINT OF VIEW?????

Sooooooooooo, if I steal Your Television because I don't have one, and I sell it and make a Profit??????? I'm a Liberal.

You see a Conservative wouldn't have to steal someone elses Business. A Conservative would Start their own Business, and show that Employer that they can Compete and do a Better Job.

Maybe this makes too much Sense for Liberals. They would Rather Steal from someone else.

[m4trix87]

@terrymkar If i produce with my labor product worth 3k and the employer gives me 1k isnt that stealing?

The TV is not included in the means of production.Consumption property-like tv-should be individual,but the means of production collective,as for everyone to have the right to the products of his labor,not having to accept the boss's terms-which boss ofc cares about his profits and not only the products of his own labor.

Learn the difference.

[LaharlD2]

The problem I have still even with this is kickbacks and bribes and I'd hate to find out that they only hire someone with a job.

[m4trix87]

@LaharlD2 Those things dont happen as there has to be hierarchy in order to have bribes.

[amazingyou1uber]

This is not capitalism. Most capitalists that I know are anti-union and anti-worker. Do any of the employees at Semo drive a Hummer and live in $2 million dollar mansion? No. Then, it's not capitalism.

[m4trix87]

@amazingyou1uber Free market does not necessarily imply capitalism-as long as the cooperatives are worker-owned and managed. This is not capitalism.

[amazingyou1uber]

@m4trix87 OH YES IT DOES. I don't know where you're from but I used to live in America and the most vocal supporters of capitalism in America are free market supporters. Ofcourse it's not capitalism. The first thing you learn in business school is not be conflicted by emotions. Cooperatives were invented by Robert Owen. Everyone knows who Robert Owen is.

[m4trix87]

@amazingyou1uber Capitalism means the minority(capitalists) to have control of the means of production,therefore being able to exploit the workers(majority) through the wage system of today.

Free market means no state interference in trade-ie between citizens and organizations.

It's just that in peoples' minds free market and capitalism go along,though they dont,as you cant have "free" market when you're a wage slave,unable to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

[amazingyou1uber]

@m4trix87 Here's the problem. In America, free market means no state interference in trade..."How much you pay the worker", and "How you treat the worker". And these free market supporters love to argue about the "tyranny of the majority" and how America is not a democracy but a republic. YOU CAN HAVE A FREE MARKET WHEN YOU'RE A WAGE SLAVE. Why do you think government got involved in the first place? They had a noble goal. Things like employment discrimination and job security.

[m4trix87]

@amazingyou1uber When you have no boss,you dont need government to protect you from the boss...

[m4trix87]

@amazingyou1uber Also,im not pro-"free" market,as even if you have cooperatives and democratic workers' control in them,but in an externally competitive environment,there will still be problems with the price levels and system instability-like what is leading us into these crises.Maybe combine workers' autogestion in factories and democratic control over wages with direct grassroots democracy in the rest of society,with the right to set strict price margins?

[m4trix87]

@amazingyou1uber Or ofc if the ppl are ready,why not anarcho-communism directly-though im a bit sceptic of whether we are ready for a direct transition to that.The cooperatives with just rewards for just labor might be a good intermediate.

[mama60]

Instead of going against human nature and putting the attention to the impossibilities of a person this is a very clever, more antropologist way of thinking and living which is about capacities, possibilities and the curiousity to learn, starting to delevop in each individual at an early age. This world is in great need of those healthy changes. Not only flora and fauna needs attention these days but us humans as wel, as we're part of that same nature, all part of mother earth.

[AustrianAtheist]

Stuff like this should be the future. Imagine what were possible, when such power structures were implemented in Europe, where the means of production are more developped?

I really believe in capitalism with strong socialist aspects. (wellfare state, labour unions, grassrootsdemocracy, free education, healthcare, but also companies, where the workers have a strong say..)

Greet respect to these people!

[DictatorRoB]

Capitalism sucks in all forms.

[m4trix87]

@DictatorRoB This is not capitalism,as you dont have the means of production owned by the ones at the top,who force the ones at the bottom to work on their own terms.

[DictatorRoB]

@m4trix87

And how does this work?

[m4trix87]

@DictatorRoB In my belief,there has to be a free market on the outside-that is,people and cooperatives trade.However,the profits from the trade-that is,the income minus the expenses and what the general assembly of the cooperative decides to go for investment,is shared among the employees.

[m4trix87]

@DictatorRoB Each employee has its amount of contribution-relative to the total effort of all the employees-calculated.And each gets his share from the profit according to his share of contribution.The analogies between different kinds of labor may be decided by the cooperative in general assemblies.

[m4trix87]

@DictatorRoB For example,lets say that we have a cooperative manufacturing cars,and the gen.assembly decides that working in the assembly line for one hour equals two hours of cleaning the workplace-as some activities require more effort and/or help the cooperative more than others.Then,if worker A works in the line for 2 hours and worker B cleans the workplace for 3 hours,worker B gets 3/4 of the share of worker A.

[m4trix87]

@m4trix87 So,if -an example-we only had those two workers,and total profit of 7000 dollars,A would get 4k and B 3k.

[m4trix87]

@DictatorRoB All decisions regarding the operation of the business is taken by gen.assemblies,atleast in the strategic-higher-level.For lower-level decisions(as it is impractical to hold a gen assembly for each and every detail-there can be elected commitees-elected often,and can be instantly replaced at anytime.

[m4trix87]

@DictatorRoB See for example Mondragon in Spain,self-managed factories in Argentina,self-management in Yugoslavia.

[DictatorRoB]

@m4trix87

But who rule those factories?

[m4trix87]

@DictatorRoB As i said,the employees themselves.

[DictatorRoB]

@m4trix87

Than that isn't capitalism but sort of Socialism.

[amazingyou1uber]

Better worker's rights are socialist.

Semco is socialist. It's a cooperative. And the cooperative was pioneered by the same guy who founded socialism.

[badmuffy]

Wish we could have stuff like this in the U.S.A .

[DirtPeak]

@badmuffy I hear you. I ended up leaving the US because work there is not at all about people, it's only about money. For the most part (especially in offices) work in the US is legalized exploitation. 2 weeks vacation is NOT a vacation and there's no work/life balance.

[kdonatus1]

The obstacle in the USA is that the society at large wants everything neatly packaged into a single word or phrase. People label evreything despite the complexity of the thing being labelled. Semco has been able to pull it off mainly because it has avoided the labels. In the USA they would not have been able to. Such a company in the USA would be the subject of venemous attacks from all the right and centre left (because they are scared of the communist/socialist labels themselves).

[vls174]

Capitalism sucks, bring the communism!

brazilian

[BPcsTFS]

@vls174 até pq as experiências socialistas foram muito bem sucedidas não é!? ACORDA PRA VIDA!! e ainda escreve em inglês hheheh vc é um ASNO MESMO...

[ielias12]

Interesting Approach! I like it!

[Joshuamyrvaagnes]

The issue is deeper than the question "is it capitalsim or is it communism"--it's not rigid commitment to an ism that got Semco to change. It's that Ricardo followed his spirit, his inspiration; it was a story, not a static thing, and still is changing. Semler almost died from his workaholic lifestyle before feeling the strong need to change everything. What your heart is saying right now i far more revolutionary than any analysis of it. What are you feeling right now??

[m4trix87]

@Joshuamyrvaagnes It is free market,as there is competition between different firms on the marketplace.However,it is not capitalist,as the means of production are collectively owned.

[alebelucio]

@Joshuamyrvaagnes exactly, you got the point! It's not a matter of where it fits in a political point of view, but just a way of living and working trying to do the best as human being.

[guitarplyr2255]

Communists love it.

Capitalists love it.

Let's slap a new name on it and then we can stop all the fighting.

I personally think it's Capitalism.

[m4trix87]

@guitarplyr2255 It combines the advantages of free market(decentralization) with the advantages of collective ownership of the means of production(no worker exploitation). 

[AnonymousBAD]

This is my dream. It is known as Communism.

[m4trix87]

@AnonymousBAD Not exactly.In communism,everyone gets paid according to his need.Here,according to his amount of labor?

[MasterChince]

Capitalism the way it should be..... you've been voted on the Island ... you've been voted off the island... true democratic capitalism at its finest on a small scale

[MasterChince]

South America seems to be the REAL land of opprotunity and if they are not a super power now they soon will be.

[eemron]

whats the name of the song?

[VisitingXenoc133]

This is how things should be, a capitalist should feel the need to be kind and caring or no one will want to work for him.

[cherylwens]

A capitalist is just as likely to be unkind as a socialist govenment. Similarly, a kind capitalist is just as likely to be as kind as a benevolent socialist government.

[NutNapalm]

What worries me is that this could lead right back to distributism - which was basically what we had in the damn dark ages. For smaller companies this may be a viable approach - I just don't see it catching on amongst larger corporations

[mtnluke]

what the fuck is wrong with you? Stupid fucking video.

[CapitalExchange]

[urpis99]

Probable annoying work place, every worker watch each other and bitch.

[5ag5]

woooo this is really interesting, at least this for the most part destroys the difference in classes in this company. There is not really a proletarian or a bourgeois in this company. Loved it.

[D0g63rt]

Well technically the labels still apply, but they're unrecognizable to how we're used to seeing them. I think Marx would have loved to work at this company.

[AdleyGates]

Nice try. Keep it up check out esteembpo + com for social media marketing. uiikj

[albertaforalbertans]

flex hours.. a good system if nobody abuses it.

[darrinthebold]

The principle of using peer pressure is pretty sound. instead of wasting their own money on hiring supervisors and so on, the company relies on the workers themselves to keep an eye on their colleagues.

[flagship21]

i did not know there were chinese people in brazil

Yes, we do! Also Brazil is home for the biggest japanese community outside Japan! Just USA is as diverse as Brazil...

[olenkab29]

I'd offer that Canada is at least as diverse as Brazil and/or the US....we've been studying Brazil for years up here in schools BECAUSE of this comparitive diversity....

[heithmann]

Agreed! Canada And USA is an example to people who says that multiethinic countries cannot work! A good lesson! Our continent is made up by all races and belongs to everyone despite their skin color....

[merikob]

thank you from posting this, it was a great help from my project :)

[garybsg]

Brilliant! It is the essence of captialism of ownership, responsibiltiy and reward.

[Alex989Y]

This video clearly dispels the myth that Socialism would result in people not working because they would not get anything for it. We see how people work harder because they are working for themselves and the rest of their peers, rather than getting paid a very low wage whilst a rich executive gets millions.

This technique encourages people to work hard for themselves and their peers rather than for a flat wage, where working harder achieves nothing, as is the case in many Capitalist companies.

[SeventhSun]

"where working harder achieves nothing, as is the case in many Capitalist companies."

And not get noticed, or liked by your superiors.

Cronyism and nepotism are the preferred options ^_~

[Malthus0]

This isn't socialism. You notice how nether the workers nor the government owns the company. The company isn't compelled to do this. And the division of labour between risk taking capitalist and salaried workers remains. This IS a capitalist company. Simply introducing a innovitive incentive stucture doen't change that fact.

[LeifEkstom]

I agree. But this is certainly not really capitalism, either. We have no fully capitalist nations, and very few fully socialist ones (which are, of course, dreadful nightmares.) Nearly every economy is mixed, but they may lean one way or the other. Some may see this Semco experiment as a socialistic shift, others maybe not. But I don't think we should be so ideological about this. If it works and is good, great. I don't see it as "cutting edge capitalism" or socialism, just a really good idea.

[Individualistico]

It's private ownership of the means of production, being operated for a profit. That by definition is capitalism.

[LeifEkstom]

I was speaking more in the abstract; my point was that we need to stop being so ideological. If it works, it works. That's the end of it. Why fight over whether or not it fits your rigid ideology, or supports your narrow views? I suppose it's simply a tendency of us humans to give everything a taxonomy, but why, when it only divides? When something like this helps your position, you say "Ah ha! Told you!" Then your opponents denounce it for that reason alone. It's antithetical to progress.

[Malthus0]

What "works" is implicitly value laden. "Works" works for what? There is no impartial standard from which to view. As Keynes pointed out "Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist" or philosopher for that matter.

That is why ideas matter. Uncontested ideas today become common sense tomorrow.

If we do not challenge ideas then how many dangerous or just wrong ideas become accepted just by default?

[LeifEkstom]

"What 'works' is implicitly value laden. 'Works' works for what? There is no impartial standard from which to view."

No, nor is there truly ever impartiality for anything. One is never above any and all influence. You should know that, since you are so into scrutinizing simple wording when you clearly understand the point. It "works" because the firm still stands, it accomplishes its goals, and the workers are happy with it. Are you really so daft as to need that spelled out for you??

[LeifEkstom]

Did I ever claim to be "quite exempt from any intellectual influence"? No. That is an assumption by you. I am, in fact, a socialist. I simply recognized that this is not socialism, or capitalism, PURELY. And for one to quote Keynes as above, I find it comical that you seem blind to the fact that while this may be capitalism in the strictest sense, it bears heavy socialist influence (there's "intellectual influence" for you). My point is to stop being so ideological, that's it.

[Malthus0]

I apologise for assuming wrongly however people who usually defend something on the grounds that it 'works' usually beg the question in regards to the values underpinning the system. Various forms of socialism were made to work and achieve some egalitarian goals while still not being desirable. As for not being 'ideological', when people like Alex989Y spout nonsense its vital to put the other side of the arguement. Lest other get drawn to the dark side.Its about truth reached reasoned arguement.

[m4trix87]

@Alex989Y Exactly.

[Benzidrine]

@Alex989Y Socialism by definition doesn't have corporations that are privately owned. This is a good example of capitalism working well hence the title. You might want to read a book before you attempt intellectual discussion of matters obviously alien to you beyond a passing exposure to propaganda.

[negkreyol21]

[Daniel727123]

this company is capitalist in the sense that it is owned privitely and is being operated for profit but socialist in the sense that workers own it and get those returns

[m4trix87]

@Daniel727123 Anti-capitalist free market,as Proudhon rightly stated.

[Daniel727123]

this sounds like mutualism

[MrBr3w]

This is cool! If this is how one should run an efficient business that can compete in the free market then all the better!

[patient0Studios]

At 6:30 I think he was a bit confused of what free-market theory and Marxism actually put forward. Free Market theory simply supports competition, all the things he then lists about the company are actually MARXIST values.

-being autonomous within the workplace

- having strict rights, and your own "agenda".

- Workers ownership of their workplace

- Democratic deliberation in decisions

etc

These arent stalinist principles of course, what people generally think socialism is

[hasatum]

Marxist "values" are quite different from actual Marxism. This has nothing to do with the abolition of private property, nothing to do with government. Free association and enforced contract are up to the task. I will grant, however, that the values of Marx may have helped inspire this project. Classical notions of capitalism (unlike its perverted modern form) have nothing against people choosing to share and cooperate in this way.

[patient0Studios]

"cutting edge capitalism". Lol its a Socialist worker co-operative. Capitalism necessitates a single person or a small group siphoning Capital for not working.

[hasatum]

Capitalism can lead to parasitic groups but does not necessitate them. The idea of shared profits is not new idea to capitalism either, nor is the idea of flexible schedules. This company has nothing to do with government but instead is clearly part of the free market. The fact that you like the word "socialism" and don't like the word "capitalism" is either ignorant or very disingenuous.

[objectivist]

This video is my new favorite on youtube. Amazing!!

[Condor324]

I wonder what that moron Chomsky would have to say about this. The fascist corporation turning it's own citizens/employees against one another grr... Fascinating video thanks.

[PierreElliottTrudeau]

Chomsky would praise it. It puts the emphasis on the worker and ensures fair wages and respect of each individuals talents being rewarded. Falls in-line with Chomsky's beliefs. Chomsky is not a liberal..:p just an FYI.

[spaz3586]

This is nothing more than an advanced version of commission. Better than most work places, but not the solution. The majority of the work is done by those who make the minority of the profits. The workers have not sacked the boss, to sack the boss the workers must own the means of production once held by the boss. Exploitation is wrong whether its done with the carrot or the stick. Its nothing more than socialism in Disguise.

[spaz3586]

I'm sorry i meant its nothing more than capitalism disguised as socialism.

[Libertarian333]

Do you enjoy talking out of your ass or is it simply habitual? Unlike with your communostatist bullshit, the Semco workers actually do own the means of production, and they don't have "bosses", only division of labor for administrative tasks; they also all profit according to their input of labor. Watch the video. They aren't any less syndicalist for actually profiting from their labor instead of holding on to the antiquated anti-profit nonsense of the classical labor value theory.

[spaz3586]

They own the means of production? So lets say these workers tell their non-bosses that they want to do something that is not in the interests of their non-bosses. If the workers truly owned their means of production then their non-boss would have no say, or if hes lucky he'd have the same say as the average worker does. This is much better than the normal business model. But to say that the semco workers really do own their means of production isn't exactly true.

[Libertarian333]

They each own a share of the company, and thus they each own a share of the means of production; it's all owned collectively by them. If any one individual worker wishes to do something not in the interests of the others, he or she is probably not going to be able to do it (always a problem with collective/communal ownership), but if the majority choose to do that thing, they'll do it because it's their company, they own it.

[Moragauth]

It's incredible how full of shit some people are, and how they think capitalism must be exploitation by definition. I am sure they hate this because it's a free-market phenomenon, and one that isn't quite syndicalism or normal corporations. Good. I like it when they boil with hatred.

[comradepinko]

I think peer pressure would be quite effective for controlling potential abuse.

Look at about 7 minutes into the video.

[BWF89]

Sounds kinda like anarcho-syndicalism. But if it works it works. If it does work that well I'd like to see more companies adopt it.

[Moragauth]

It retains private property, and all the elements of the market, so it's just a business model really, a free market one.

[givebirthathome]

Interesting, thanks for sending it to me.
