Let's take a look at the pros and cons of cooperatives! A remake where I build up on my original analysis of the issues of cooperative economy under Capitalism as well as Socialism.
00:00 Introduction and Announcement
00:55 Definitions
01:48 Are Coops Truly Revolutionary? Conventional Enterprises vs Cooperatives
05:15 Consumer Cooperatives and The Limitations of Working Under Capitalism
07:10 The Class Interests of The Coop
09:06 Positives of Cooperatives
09:50 Strategy and Conclusion
This is a really good discussion to have. Many of us (myself included) have assumed that replacing traditional corporations with cooperatives would solve almost all our problems but there’s still the broader context of capitalism. Dill Pickle Co-op workers just walked out over unsafe work conditions, for example.
