    There is in September 2026 even ruining a month long article editing campaign about topics related to the union of wiki workers. If you have some spare hours, I invite you to contribute, so public can better understand what is happening.

    What a world we live in where the shared store of all human knowledge is treating their workers like shit…

      If there’s a company that should work well under a socialist structure it’d be Wikimedia. Their main product is the communally built encyclopedia.

        My thoughts exactly. They could easily be a worker managed enterprise. I believe it would actually be the best way for them to function.
