Quality vid. You are 100% right about the equation between arguing that you can leave your tyrannical employer and arguing that you can leave your tyrannical country. In both cases only some can find credible alternatives, while the rest are trapped by their lack of means under the tyrant's heel. Also I should mention the tyrannical creditors (banks) who would rather destroy communities than relax interest rates in hard times. This is also due to a lack of democratic accountability in finance.

@TimeTelescope Yeah, that's a good point regarding finance.

I have five fucking bosses. Yeah, seriously. And six other people I essentially answer to also. They "fix" things that aren't broken to justify their existance all the time.

I talked with a co-worker the other day who didn't understand why they hire US instead of the other way around, and I decided to look into unions, and found out that union organizing would most likely not have an effect on the real problems with business (top down control, concentrated power). I have no idea how to proceed.

If you think about it, if all major financial institutions were turned into democratic companies (trusts) instructed to serve the public interest, by simply investing in businesses that followed democratic principles and disinvesting in those that did not, the economy could be rapidly transformed without any need for appropriation or sweeping legislation, which are always dangerous. I plan to do some stuff on this in the not-too-distant future.

A great video. I was surprised. Well done.

@yeahwotevaman Don't get me wrong, any form of WSM is a step in the right direction IMO, but with respect we have to ask why it's so unpopular beyond 'well, we're all just a bunch of brainwashed sheep'.

I think most people would vote for no boss given the choice, therefore tyranny becomes necesary to make the system we live in actually work. The biggest problem of workers self-management is simple: who wants to go to tons of organisational meeting on top of their actual productive work? An answer to this is delegation - voting for your boss - which sounds like self-managed masochism.

Excellent.
