Tactics for a cooperative digital commons w/ Evan Henshaw-Plath

Half Past Capitalism

Evan Henshaw-Plath was one of the key organizers of the Indymedia network, employee #1 at Twitter, and started two worker co-ops and a bunch of other companies. He has worked at Fortune 500 monoliths and in anarchist collectives. In this episode, we discuss how software is a commons, what the cooperative movement can learn from Silicon Valley, and how cooperative tech projects can scale up.

Evan is at @rabble and www.planetary.social (part of a larger attempt to create a decentralized social media platform) is his current project.
