🗣️«Les cooperatives no són simplement un esforç col·lectiu de persones al mateix pla. La història ens mostra que el LIDERATGE és essencial.»
Ho afirma @ntnsndr en aquest podcast de Cooperatives First.
També ens diu que hi ha alternativa a Airbnb, Uber, Spotify, etc.
Sí, les #cooperatives de plataforma ( @platformcoop). Els polítics les prefereixen i així no haver-se d'enfrontar a grans monopolis transnacionals.
Una conversa (en anglès) inspiradora:
🌱 ¿Las cooperativas construyen un mundo mejor?”, una serie de artículos de opinión sobre la actualidad, retos y desafíos del cooperativismo y las otras economías.

Finished translating the next chapter of Cooperative Enterprise and Market Economy, in which @luisrazeto argues that the new type of worker cooperative he proposes not only overcomes the limitations of community enterprises and traditional cooperatives, but is more efficient and innovative than the capitalist firm. On to the next section, where we leave the arid plains of equilibrium and enter the fields of inter-cooperation and economic integration of cooperatives.

J'ai eu le privilège (le mot est faible) de lire 'Comment les coopératives créent de la prospérité pour toutes et tous', de Kathy Van der Elst, avant sa publication. Ce bouqun est salutaire et enthousiasmant. À la fois témoignage, document, récit de voyage et plaidoyer en faveur du modèle coopératif, ça donne une pêche incroyable.
Kathy lance une souscription pour sortir la version FR de son livre ➡️ https://zinaroundtheworld.com/petits-gestes-grandes-vagues-kathy-bruxelles-septembre-2025/
Si tu t'intéresses à d'autres modèles de travail et d'économie que la course au profit qui est en train de détruire nos vies et notre planète, ça devrait te plaire 😉
Chaque boost gifle le capitalisme.

"Smart politicians aren't being sucked in by Musk's claim that he can billionaire his way out of the intractable laws of physics. They're pulling fiber, and lots of it. In Utah, the aptly named UTOPIA network is serving publicly owned fiber to 21 cities, and private businesses can offer service over that public system, which means that Utahans have their choice of 18 carriers."

Compare and contrast. I listened to both of these podcasts today and find the contrast illuminating.

Mujeres, cooperativas y colectivas solidarias. Una mirada feminista - Dra. Josefina Cendejas Guízar
"Si las reformas legislativas y las políticas no se hacen con una perspectiva de género, tampoco abonarán al avance de la igualdad sustantiva"

"The recent book by Marcelo Vieta, Workers’ Self-Management in Argentina: Contesting Neo-liberalism by Occupying Companies, Creating Cooperatives, and Recuperating Autogestion (Haymarket Books, Chicago, 2020), provides a wealth of information and analysis on the emergence of worker-run production cooperatives in Argentina’s crisis-ridden industries. It highlights workers’ prominent role in occupying and self-managing factories that were either shut down or on the brink of closure following the economic crisis of the 1990s. The book also offers fascinating examples of how these worker-managed units were established. Argentina’s labour movement provides valuable lessons for understanding the complexities of workers’ self-management.
To better understand the economic and political conditions that led to these labour movements, it is crucial to briefly consider the historical context of labour organization in Argentina, as discussed in the book and other related sources, particularly its relationship with the state and capitalists. A special focus will be placed on ‘Peronism,’ which significantly shaped labour politics. After that, we will explore some key aspects of the book and conclude with reflections on the concept of workers’ control and its (in-)conceivability under capitalism."
