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:

This is a very interesting development.
This is maturity and solidarity in political decision-making.

The Workers Party of Britain will not be standing in the upcoming by-election for Gorton and Denton.

Go Green Party!! We're all rooting for yis ✊️🌿

How can we build community owned healthcare that rewards prosocial people/behaviors/relationships?

Short term, mid term, & long term?

Like can people learn more than just the basics & cpr? Can we pool money for community owned drug & test libraries? Community owned HC facilities?

In places like Thembisa and the Free State, community food gardens are transforming lives. From feeding learners to providing jobs and fresh produce for families, these gardens show how local partnerships can strengthen food systems and education.

Hannah Spencer is going to be an absolute game-changer for the Green Party. Incredible speech.

Cannot wait to see her shine in this national spotlight.

A challenge for anyone who wants to tackle the threat of Reform UK, and can stay calmly factual with people repeating their message:

Get on Nextdoor.

It's a hotbed for the casual Reform voters who are just following the crowd.

Find common ground, and introduce them to other viewpoints.

If something is legally required, like car insurance, then the industry should be nationalised. Why should the law force me to make profit for their shareholders rather than taxpayers?

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.
November 26, 2025 at 5:38 PM
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.
