Bill: Democratic, Free Economy
Details
Submitted by[?]: Humanist Alliance
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2918
Description[?]:
| I insist. These enterprises compete in the market as any other enterprise. The only thing that is different is the internal organization. It has proved very succesful for farmers, artisans and small producers. E.g.: A group of farmers produce Efineyan blueberries and want to sell their product in Zergon but they don't have the resources to transport the berries and promote the product. If they create a DWC they will join their forces, raise more funds and share the benefits, which will be benefitial to all the community. |

| Message | DWC also called cooperatives are private enterprises that difers form a classical enterprise in the following points a) The workers own the means of production (machines, vehicles, etc.). They gather money to purchase them. b) Important decisions are taken in an democratic assembly which comprises all the workers. c) The benefits. Instead of having a CEO who pays salaries and keeps the rest of the benefits for himself, in a cooperative the benefits are distributed according to individual production. The difference between this and a communism is that a cooperative operates within a market system, subject to the same laws as any other enterprise. The only thing that is different is the internal managment |
