The capitalist system hurts everyone

Capitalism relies on our participation to continue

I don't want to give my money to billionaires any more

Co-ops are anti-capitalist by design

I want to find community-owned alternatives for where I spend my time and money.

I'm building this thing:
Community Change Directory
Find community-owned and co-op organisations near you.
community-change-directory.netlify.app
One day I'll find a succinct, shareable caption to describe this app that will get it in front of people looking for something like this. Til then, I'll just keep trying 😅

NEW VIDEO: Thanks to our anti-social social order, many people are struggling with a lack of community in their lives. I believe we can change that. Let's revisit the village of the past, then sketch out a radical vision for the future of community.

Humans just need progress. We need something to be getting better. That can be our social life, self-development, career, family, anything tangible in our own lives.

Trying to argue that "GDP line go up" is an innate human need is the kind of take that makes economics sound like a cult.
Human psychology is not made for zero or degrowth

Disengage.

There's a massive dumpster fire in front of us, and most of us are trying to put it out, but the guys who sell us the water are the same guys chucking the molotovs.

We can just turn around, and walk away.

If you think the world would be a better place if communities owned their own infrastructure, and want inspiration from people already doing that, then give this a follow and a share 💚

Very disappointing to see Labour cutting tax incentives for transferring businesses to employee ownership.

There's a huge opportunity for the Greens to outflank Labour on:

➡️ Co-ops
➡️ Community organisations

Labour are still serving them relatively well directly, but organisers won't ignore everything else.

Like trade unions, Labour are entrenched, but now is a golden opportunity to replace them.

Greens have 47% of the 18-24 vote in this week's YouGov poll 😳

A mass exodus from Labour representatives can't be far away, surely?

There is no way back from this.

I think some of us may have forgotten that the entire point of living in a society is that each of us gives up a little so that we all gain a lot.

Can every day on the internet be like today please? 🥹

📈 If my statistical models are correct, Greens are now on track to receive 224% of the vote in the 2029 General Election.

So I'm expecting the answer to this to be really obvious because I've never seen it asked or even ever thought about it before but what does the "GPT" in ChatGPT stand for? 🙃
