    If there’s one positive thing to it, it’s how worker cooperatives were formed in most cases.

    Business goes bust or big bosses decide specific location doesn’t bring enough value for shareholders - workers chip in and buy facility out. At least how it worked in, for example, Argentina.

      I kinda feel Argentina is a bit different to Europe in that their economy was in a very bad shape, in Europe I would expect some Chinese enterprise buying the factory, leaving workers with pretty much nothing
