I’m looking for places to work, and I’d love to find somewhere where I don’t have to hide my political or economic positions from people I interact with on a daily basis.
When I search for “communist businesses in the US”, I get a long list of historical organizations that were the targets of HUAC, plenty of articles about investigations by senators into Chinese military companies, and other unhelpful garbage propaganda.
Surely there are some companies or organizations that are looking for employees, not just volunteers, but man are they hard to find.
Holy shit lmao
There are none. Small business owners are mini-hitlers
EDIT: ask around in your community
I ordered medieval bestiary stickers from OP and the return address said Langley, VA
They were delivered by the guys in the usual surveillance van, though, so that was nice of them
Hey, I think I might have left my badge in the package I sent you, and they won’t let me back into the building without it. Can you mail it back to me when you get a chance?
Yeah, that’s my experience. The trick is that I live in a less-populated area, so my options are slim for non-remote work.
How many people, roughly, in your county?
170k, and it’s by far the most populous in the state.
I didn’t need anything that specific, it narrows it down to 3 counties.
Where I live is a bit less than that but there are surrounding counties that bring up the population in commutable range to at least that. I wouldn’t say it’s past the economic/social diversification threshold where you’d expect at least one local worker’s cooperative (if there even is such a point), but I see the surroundings as more something to create in than something to just plug in to.
Anything above 100k is enough to have a bit of variety for someone who’s not poised to go into business for themselves. The options won’t be great but they’re there.
I’ve been toying with the idea of “which among these smaller (cheaper, bikeable, less overwhelming) cities is worth trying to attract revolutionaries to, in order to maximize our base and our influence on specific municipalities and small regions”.
