We need a groundswell of arts cooperatives.
If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

Shareholders elect the boards that set CEO pay. In 2024, CEOs at the 350 largest U.S. firms earned 281 times a typical worker's pay. At the median worker cooperative surveyed, where worker-members share the earnings, the highest-paid earned 1.44 times the lowest-paid. #UCSB #BlumCenter

Proudhon basically called it in the beginning, before Marx ever wrote anything.
The revolution brought republics. Flawed democracies, but at least not totalitarian monarchies.
The goal is that or something better in the workplace too. Democracy, cooperatives, collectives, communes. Federate those.

🪦 Et si les Français se tournaient vers les coopératives funéraires pour leurs obsèques? ⤵️
Économique et plus personnel: et si les Français se tournaient vers les coopératives funéraires pour leurs obsèques?
À Rennes, Bordeaux, Lille ou encore Nantes... Une dizaine de coopératives funéraires est née sur le territoire français ces vingt dernières années. À la croisée entre association et pompes funèbres classiques, ces structures encore confidentielles proposent aux familles des accompagnements d'obsèques personnalisés et sans intérêts financiers. Une alternative séduisante aux pompes funèbres conventionnelles.

Well, free markets are not necessarily capitalism, and we should divorce the two.
Capitalism is employer/employee labor. (With employers leveraging this in all aspects)
We could have a socialist economy of all cooperatives and there could still be free trade on markets.
