Politics of worker cooperation

Just reposted a long-read piece from Angry Workers over on workers.coop website. It has some pretty interesting things to say that go the heart of worker cooperation and the transformation of work. Framed as a critique of a text called ‘Fundamental Principles of Communist Production and Distribution’, the text it refers to was written in the 1930s by people from the Dutch and German non-state left. If you can bear with its ‘Marxiness’ there’s tons of food for thought. I love this dig: “As a side note, I don’t think it is by chance that the council communist tendency had a fair share of astronomers in the past and software programmers in the present, people who appreciate closed systems.”
