I swear to Gawd, some of the toots on here. I might seriously open a store that sells mugs and shirt with my faves. Starting with this one. @jacethechicken a month later and I am STILL laughing at this one.

Land reform is my Exhibit B -- coops being Exhibit A -- of what happens when you attempt to introduce radical economic changes without the commensurate radical political transformation.

@wu_lee
Unfortunately cooperativism is an economic project without any associated political project, so history has already borne out that the answer to this question is clearly NO.

@wu_lee
I have been involved in coops for 20 years and have mentors who've been involved in coops since the 70s. I struggle to point to examples of coops being forces for broader radical sociopolitical *systemic* change. I'm all ears/eyes if you know of any. But effecting sociopolitical change is not some thing that is "baked" into the cooperative structure and that is why I call for an accompanying explicitly political project.

@Antanicus
My point is that the lion's share of cooperatives in the world would not describe themselves this way. I believe the majority of the world's cooperatives are, indeed, capitalist and pro-capitalist. I don't have data at hand, but I welcome it and am enjoying this debate immensely.

The sheer amount of human hours put into creating artwork, commentary, and criticism for the sole purpose of helping white people understand things.

Super encouraging seeing how many people came through to #reclaimpridenyc #reclaimpride . The die-in had me shook . With 45,000 in attendance, it clearly resonated with A LOT of people. So much so that I shudder to think what the backlash to that backlash will be...and whether I'll wanna be down with that new backlash instead

Happy Pride, y'all..like @nonlinear just said, "Remember not all queer is visible." Onwards to liberation ✊🏾
