@St_Rev exactly. idea of unions as voluntary ass'ns providing social insurance directly is almost totally absent from the current discourse -
@St_Rev & those often just worked v well, better than the state-run alternatives, on top of being an important medium of self-determination -
@schakalsynthetc Yep. The Mutualists were A-OK in my book. -
@St_Rev I'm likewise okay with or at least sympathetic to that end of the libertarian right that starts to overlap with mutualism, &c -
@St_Rev if I had to reduce it to a slogan-sized declaration I might say: in any conflict of principals vs agents, I side with the principals -
@St_Rev if only bc it's ethically better to let ppl fuck up their own lives than let someone else fuck it up for them against their will -
@St_Rev state v capital, market v planning aren't trivial or imaginary but for me principals v agents is the critical, underappreciated one -
@schakalsynthetc yep. complements the knowledge problem.
