Richard Wolff worked with Baran and Althusser but today mostly just advocates for worker co-ops. I wish he would pop off and show his power level sometimes because he clearly knows a lot more than he is letting on
I fucking knew this picture existed but couldn't find it anywhere. Althusser and Richard D. Wolff chilling out.
