Structural ponderings, capitalism
@Kyresti Given how scared some of the larger corps are of it and of their talent walking out the door, unionization is a start.
As for larger collectives, the EFF is a good example in the policy space, as are conference collectives (CCC, DEF*CON, various BSides communities, etc).
I'd include open source too, but... no, most of those are autocratic around one or two members.
