Socialist web developer and I work on Godot games on the side. I hope to one day create a cooperative game studio/tech company.

Hi, this is Nick with Democratic Socialists of America. The U.S. blockade on Cuba is state sponsored violence that has caused an economic and humanitarian crisis. The people of Cuba are forced to endure blackouts as well as critical fuel, medicine, and food shortages. The situation is dire and they need our help. DSA’s Venceremos Fund will allow us to provide desperately needed medical supplies to those affected by U.S. imperialism. Can we count on you to donate to help?

Union unemployment poster:
"If you're unemployed it's not because there isn't any work

Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they require work,. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there's work to be done.

So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs. It's a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs. A world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.

This country was not built by the huge corporations and government bureaucracies, it was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else's profits, the work won't get done."

Sociocracy is a governance system that creates decentralized domain specific groups that come to decisions through consent.

Consent means that you aren't saying no and that a decision is at least good enough for now rather than saying that you're for it.

Feedback is gathered to improve the solution at different points for the people affected by a decision.

This is an alternative to majority rule direct democracy that can leave out a lot of nuance from decision making and offers a structured approach to proposing and iterating on ideas.
