Shouldn't everyone who supports worker cooperatives want very badly that these workers succeed?
What if we established a fund somewhere where such people could donate? According to the article, the workers need $2 million to buy the machinery. Divided by 100,000 people, that's $20 a person. Of course, some people could give much more than $20. If such a fund became a going proposition, I bet many would. To start things off, it could be in the form of pledges. Because people would be more likely to donate if they had confidence that it was likely to succeed.
