So are they a worker cooperative movement or just an easily-corruptible trade union?

Unionizing Silicon Valley is a brilliant thing to do. We need to inject some rigorous leftism into their community. Their worship of tech start-ups is pure ideology because it misses the structural difficulties of implementing truly valuable services under capitalism. Imagine the possibilities if that were fixed. If those nutjobs realized that the liberation of information for the good of humanity is only feasible under socialism. It would be huge.

I can see this be like 90%_+ people being "tech enthusiasts" rather than people in tech, so they're much likely to get programmed by tech issues they think are right like supporting net neutrality.
The answer isn't to unionize and bargain for better wages. The real answer is to be self employed and organize to create free software.
