    I’m suggesting that the idea of creating a global credit union within the boundaries set by Capitalism, and carrying it to fruition, is far more difficult than revolution. You’re asking the absolute most wealthy individuals to sit by and watch their wealth dry up and to do nothing about it.

    I think you should read the essay I linked.

      Okay, at least we’re talking about execution now. I’ll read the essay, but like unix and fediverse and credit unions exist right now and capitalists can’t stop them. They can only compete with them in the free market. They certainly won’t be able to stop them once they get even bigger and more mainstream.

        We were always talking about execution. FOSS is regularly undermined and Credit Unions are almost always more local than otherwise.
