After reading the book "Making Mondragon" I made this video. Let me know what you think about it. Maybe I'm not aware of all the barriers, but I feel like so much more could be achieved.

Socialism is a mode of production. No one single person is going to enact socialism. The idea that you have to "live your ideals" to be a socialist while living under a capitalist mode of production is individualist hogwash.

I don't get why so many petit-bourgeois "socialists" are so obsessed with Mondragon, which was founded by Basque Catholic priests precisely to forestall any revolutionary activities amongst the Basque working class.
