#RainbowGrocery #CooperativeEconomics #LibertarianSocialism
"Rainbow Grocery is a worker-owned cooperative, meaning its employees collectively own and democratically manage the business. Each worker-owner has an equal vote in major decisions, reflecting the co-op’s founding values of equality and shared responsibility.
Though modest in scale, the stores were backed by a bold idea: That food could be distributed ethically and labor could be organized without hierarchy. The concept attracted idealists, activists and those united by shared spiritual values.
'That part of the Mission wasn’t the greatest,' co-op worker/owner Pat Seguin told Mission Local in an interview about Rainbow’s 40th anniversary. 'A lot of people couldn’t afford clean, healthy food, nutritious food.'
While other food conspiracies fractured under the weight of ideological divisions and internal conflict, Rainbow endured.
(. . .)
Beyond being a grocery store, Rainbow is a radical experiment in workplace democracy.
Everyone who works at Rainbow is an owner. After nine months on the job, new hires pay a $10 fee to become voting members of the cooperative. There is no CEO. Wages are equal, regardless of job title. Departments self-govern and hire their own."

@GuerillaOntologist Do we have anything on Laura Cornelius Kellogg and the Lolomi Plan on geo.coop?

The dominant Europe-centred paradigm in #CooperativeEconomics means the field is working with an incomplete, therefore inadequate, record of the rich diversity of ways people have understood and practised cooperation as an economic strategy. For instance, the #AfricanPhilosophy of #Ubuntu imparts a model in which cooperation is a perpetually sought ideal state and seeking it creates cooperative economic relations.

Just finished translating Chapter 8 of Cooperative Enterprise and Market Economy, by @luisrazeto. In this section he lays out the operational logic of labor and community cooperatives, repurposing mainstream economic categories like equilibrium and (im)perfect competition.

A non-profit cooperative will likely #depend on #donation|s.
It thus runs risk to align itself to the interests of #donor|s who give large amounts of #money, rather than to the interests of the #coop members.
›Should a #cooperative operating #Fediverse #instance|s be #NonProfit or #ForProfit?‹

Even better yet, form #Association|s and #PlatformCooperative|s to run #Fediverse instances, and setup instances at already existing associations and #cooperative|s.
When establishing a #coop in #Europe, prefer the form of a #EuropeanCooperative (#SCE), and avoid to make your #headquarters in #FRG, because its #CooperativeLaw still contains inhibiting #Nazi regulations from #Y1934.

Vielleicht wäre für so etwas auch die Form der #SocietasCooperativaEuropaea (#SCE) wünschenswert, allerdings weiß ich nicht, ob diese Rechtsform auch in der Schweiz 🇨🇭 übernommen wurde.

Spannend finde ich die Frage, ob nicht eine genossenschaftliche Struktur für den #Postdienst und #Eisenbahn-Unternehmen denkbar wäre, also so wie beim #Rundfunk in CH 🇨🇭 ein genossenschaftlicher Postdienst mit öffentlichem Auftrag.
In FR 🇫🇷 hat vor kurzem eine #Schienenverkehr-#Genossenschaft den Betrieb aufgenommen:
