"The commons consist of more than just power and water. The means of production must be returned to the commons as well, I'm talking here about workers’ cooperatives—organizations allowing workers to invest jointly in the co-ownership and co-management of the means of production without interference from capitalists and shareholders.

Workers’ co-ops play 2 crucial roles in workers regaining their autonomy and power of self-determination. Every member of a co-op invests in, owns, and operates the enterprise. It’s the workers who have the agency to discuss and determine what sort of work will be done and how it will take place."
