As someone who has run coops, been a member of coops, and generally been exposed to real living based on the highest ideals of marxism, it sucks for bringing about change. The union cab companies mentioned in the article didn't bring about reliable, phone-hailed, driver-rated system I get to enjoy now, Uber did. That being said, they do treat workers poorly, at about the accepted standards of unskilled labor (is Wal-Mart any better?)

I think we'll have longer-term changes that won't necessarily take the shape of the most recent anti-capitalistic movements people were raised on. Patreon, for example, is incredibly empowering for niche communities of artists and otherwise unsustainable but culturally valuable projects.

I don't think we've yet realized all the transformative possibilities a connected world has for allowing a lives to be flexible to the individual. My generation missed the boat on a mortgage and a career until retirement. Maybe we can figure out new norms for the average jane's work and life goals. Ones that look less like running on a hamster wheel.
