Richard D. Wolff Quotes

• El lugar de trabajo capitalista es una de las instituciones más profundamente antidemocráticas sobre la faz de la Tierra. Los trabajadores no tienen voz en las decisiones que les afectan. Si los trabajadores se sentaran en el consejo de administración de las empresas autogestionadas que funcionan democráticamente, no votarían a favor de la distribución salvajemente desigual de los beneficios en beneficio de unos pocos y de los recortes para la mayoría.

• Nothing would more quickly and definitively reduce U.S. income inequality than allowing every worker in all businesses to participate in deciding the range of incomes from one worker to another. They would never do what is now a matter of normality: give one person millions, in some cases billions, while others have barely enough to make a living.

• A cooperative enterprise is the key alternative to a traditional capitalist enterprise. All the workers, whatever they do inside an enterprise, have to be able to participate in collectively arriving at the decisions about what, how, where to produce, and what to do with the profits in a democratic way. One person, one vote should decide how these things are done.

• The word "collective" is not so often used because it has been basically used by socialists and communists and has a different history. The word "cooperative" means the workplace itself is organized cooperatively, rather than in the conventional capitalistic, hierarchical form.
