  • Because usually companies get founded. If you want to found a company you want investors. Investors don’t really invest in worker coops. That (and a few other reasons) mean most companies are formed as private companies. Worker coops mostly form when workers are sick of how they are treated and think they can do better on their own.

    A willing government could subsidize worker coops and encourage their creation to make them more common


  • There are countries that were made democratic not by the people but their dictator/monarch. Why couldn’t the same happen with socialism?

    Also one should consider that (at least in the non Stalinist definition) socialism more or less just means worker coops. There are worker coops. There is the theoretical possibility that their numbers rise until private companies are basically non existent. Socialism doesn’t necessarily require a revolution.






  • We have Wine / Proton of course and they can run a lot, but not everything is possible. WinBoat is different. Instead of running compatibility layers, it runs a real copy of Windows using Docker and KVM under the hood. The developer explains it should run basically everything unless “it requires strong GPU acceleration or kernel-level anticheat”. It uses FreeRDP for showing the apps on your Linux desktop, enabling you to interact with them like you would with any other Linux app.

    I don’t want to sound rude, but maybe read the article and not just the headline before asking questions
