New possibilities, new alternatives ...

I left a a comment over at FDL on an article, and video, by Gar Alperovitz: "Movements, History, & Economic Transformation, Part 4: New possibilities, new alternatives"

My particular comment, praising the video, is here:

11,000 worker-owned companies!! Exactly, that is hopeful. Actual ownership of industry is directly linked to political power. Economics, politics and culture are all hand-in-hand and move together.

While some clamor for freedom from corporate ruled politics, they still advocate for “jobs”–not seeming concerned that they clamor for corporate jobs, which increase corporate profit, which increase corporate political strength.

While advocating for worker-owned businesses, advocating for community businesses, is actual advocating for worker political strength, for community political strength.

Excellent video.
