"Good luck organizing and backing BUSINESSES without a large profit movtive...." that's the frigging problem right there. That attitude. We have to change that attitude. It's the rights biggest asset, the fact the left has that attitude. Having already given up.
We need to organize. We need to organize for liberal and progressive ideals. Waiting on right winged owned businesses to grant us our ideals is a fools errand.
We have assets, we have money, we can choose how we spend it. We organize on how we spend it. If one million liberals and progressives took a hundred dollars and put it together in a Trust Fund designed to create liberal and progressive organized businesses. Things could start to change. That's 25 less visits to Starbucks a year, a few weekends spent working in the yard and around the house than going out.
Set the trust fund up as a corporate trust and use the stock market to help fund it with investing. Use the enemies' own machines against them to create businesses that pay wages twice the minimum wage as their lowest wage. Lets workers opt to buy in as shareholders and minor partners with a small part of their paycheck so they are motivated to create a successful business they own a piece of. Let their sweat and blood create equity in their jobs.
Work on reducing carbon footprints with businesses presence. Optimize recycling of waste, focus on employing our society's most vulnerable where possible, provide health insurance options for all employees that doesn't eat up more than five percent of their paycheck.
We can change the culture of profit and business. We just have to organize.
