I think this post would be better suited for [email protected] than here, as it doesn't really have any direct relation to solarpunk.

The most powerful act Bernie and the rest of the democrat politicians could do is loudly claim they are Antifa, to dare them to arrest them or do anything about it.
Highly recommend checking out videos from:
They're the only leftist guntubers out there, with high quality and informative content.
Wadjeteye games (who published primordia) mostly publish serious non-comedic point'n'clicks. I highly recommend Gemini Rue by them.
Their thesis is that increasing amounts and intensity of hurricanes compared to past decades due to climate change has overstepped the affected state's ability to recover before the next one hits, limiting services and life-saving infrastructure.

I would highly recommend The Chrysalids by John Wyndham. There's an excellent audio book version available for free on Archive.org.
It's very well written classic sci-fi.
Some others that I thoroughly enjoyed:
- Starwolf - Edmond Hamilton
- The Stainless Steel Rat - Harry Harrison
- The Jameson Satellite - Neil R. Jones
- Gunner Cade - Cyril Kornbluth & Judith Merrill
- The Shockwave Rider - John Brunner
- Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
- Phaid the Gambler - Mick Ferran
- The Dispossessed - Ursula Le'Guin
The workers were not paid what they generated in value, they were paid just enough to make them do the work reliably without leaving. The excess value they made went into growing the business and employing yet more workers, which increased the value of the business tremendously. At the end, all of that extra value went to Ben & Jerry at the sale, not the workers who made that transfer of wealth possible.
Ben & Jerry did not personally contribute 325 million dollars worth of labor into the company, they decided to take that excess value for themselves.
If hypothetically Ben & Jerry's had been a worker owned coop from the start, if they had decided to sell it in 2000 for 325 million, that money would've been split amongst all of the workers fairly evenly, and all of them would've been made very wealthy from their collective labor, instead of only two people.
The workers are responsible for all of the wealth of the company. It's only fair they become the owners. Without them, Ben & Jerry wouldn't have been able to expand beyond their single ice cream parlor in 1978.
In addition to the link from @[email protected], I'd recommend checking out the [email protected] community, which has some great resources.
Jeff Geerling also did a good introduction to meshtastic.
They should've made the company into a worker owned cooperative, but they prioritized personal profit.
