Description
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. * * * Follow/support Half Past Capitalism:    • Support HPC on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halfpastcapit...    • The Youtube show is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOkK5IDHxpJ3YBiOCBJttGg​​    • Dru is on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/druojajay​​
