Perhaps I should have made myself clearer: I read the last dozens of pages. I saw the arguments. While I understand the position espoused I do not agree enough to change my vote, and you tossing a dozen quote-links at me will not do the job any more than me reading them the first time. I will thank you to not continue to harass me over this.
Make a small effort of it, you may well be surprised.
We can make character sheets? Because I'm willing to take a crack at being a communist in a nation building quest and trying not to get purged again.
The people taking over are doing some from a position of a numeric majority, but a minority of investment. There are more of them working at this farm, but they shouldered none of the initial burden and risk for its creation, they likely do little of the indirect work (paying bills, paperwork, etc.) that keeps it running, and so on. Their work is real and valuable, but does it truly balance against the very real personal cost and risk the 2 made?
which is why you choose your co-workers carefully.
I definitely like the starbird and the four stars. Kinda wish we could find something specific to tie the number of stripes to, though...Okay. Okay. Three last flags and now I go get some food and fall over.
First up we have this design that incorporates @AKuz's suggestion for the four star symbolism with the phoenix. I'm sticking with the Starbird design for now because fuck yeah Star Wars:
(It occured to me just now that if you added colonial America to the list of republics, or pre-colonial native nations or what have you, then the phoenix represents the renewal of the Fifth Republic. Just a passing thought.)
Next we have two variations on @Susano's flag design, again using the four star symbolism, one with the phoenix and one without. Honestly I think the phoenix works better for this design in general as the design without it looks pretty generic, like the sort of thing the Shadowrun guys would throw together for a splat on deadline. YMMV, of course:
So if a sociopath manages to charm their way onto the family farm and convince the majority of the workers to vote out the people who spent most if the effort and most of the investment starting and running the place?
How would that law work? Operations under a certain size would not be required to democratize?
I think the problem is of groups of nefarious conmen taking over coops with numbers and looting it empty before moving on. It may be an inherent risk of coops that people must accept to a degree in the same way capitalist businesses are at risk of being preyed on by vulture capitalists. We can mitigate both examples by legislation but I doubt you can totally remove the risk. If there is an economic system, someone will figure out to exploit it. But that is beyond the scope of a constitution to deal with.
