@DekaBlack @loar Puff, qué difícil. Las portadas de los #vinilos #music me parecen todas preciosas.
A la que más cariño le tengo es a uno de la #Mondragon que me firmó el fotógrafo... :ablobcatnomcookie:

That was *Bolshevik* communism. There are other kinds of communism, for example, anarchist communism, i.e., Libertarian Socialism. The worker self-owned, worker self-managed workplace is both practical, just, and sustainable. It’s already up and running. It just need to be scaled up. See: #NoBAWC or #Mondragon.

That's not always true. Some currently extant coops have lasted for decades. See #Mondragon, #NoBAWC, etc.
But, of course, the real solution is to do away with capitalist normalcy altogether. It'll take some effort but so what? Consider the alternative.

Les cooperatives i l'Economia Social tenim un gran poder de canvi: més igualtat, més democràcia, més sostenibilitat, més justícia...

Anarchists are not attempting to get to an "ideal form of governance". There is no such thing. No one has the right to govern anybody. What we are doing is creating an ideal society, one piece at a time, from the ground up. The ideal society must, by definition, have an ideal economy. It's called #LibertarianSocialism, i.e., worker self-owned, worker self-managed workplaces, federated in whatever ways they choose.
Libertarian Socialism is already up and running and merely needs to grow. See:
etc.
I myself put in 26 years at Bound Together Anarchist Bookstore Collective, a NoBAWC shop. We didn't have a boss. We didn't need one. We held a meeting once a month to do what a boss would do in a normal shop, i.e., manage the business. It worked fine.
The coop principle is scalable. It ranges from ad hoc neighborhood food purchasing coops to Mondragon, a multi-national, multi billion dollar enterprise.
Decisions should be made by the people they effect. Everybody else should butt out.
We apply the basic principles of anarchism to everything we do, starting with, but in no way limited to, work:
Sharing
Cooperation
Solidarity
Mutual Aid
Direct Action*****
Here's a true story about one such coop. Perhaps it may inspire you:In about '73-4 some people in New Haven, Connecticut started a food coop. My communal household was the 12th household to join. One night a week, at three in the morning, one of the households would go to the loading dock and buy wholesale produce when it came in, fresh off the trucks, then take it back to the house and divide it up. We rotated this task. More and more households joined.
Pretty soon we were moving enough food that the living room floors of communal households weren't a big enough sorting space. There were about 1500 of us. We chipped in and rented an unused bodega on the Hill (a ghetto neighborhood), not to do retail, but just to have enough floor and shelf space to sort the food. We also were able to store non perishables there so we could buy that stuff in bigger lots.
We immediately ran into another food coop operating in the neighborhood. It was all Black and based on the basement floors of a network of Black churches, instead of a network of living room floors like we were doing. Other than that, we operated exactly the same. There were about 1500 of them, too. We held one joint meeting and voted unanimously to fuse. Now there was 3,000 of us.
So we rented out this old abandoned supermarket. It might have once been a Kroger. I forget. One of those chains. We cleared one space out for childcare and another for socializing. The rest of the layout stayed the same. It had everything available that a grocery store had. Everything but the meat sold at 2% over cost, which covered the building's overhead. The meat was prorated according to cut because that was the only to make the money work.
The coop was staffed by volunteers, except we also hired a butcher and two part time drivers with the money we saved not having a boss. Then we acquired a grant writer who worked for commission. We spent the grant money on infrastructure. Membership was by household, not individuals. Tight scheduling made sure there was always enough staff on hand. It was never a problem.
The food was excellent. The people were the best ever. It became a sort of community hang out in addition to being the community pantry.
Sometimes political groups held meetings in the socializing area. It was sweet.
Then I moved to California and lost track of the place. Long story, for some other time.

Global networks of worker self-owned worker self-managed workplace is the #LibertarianSocialist ideal. It's a better system than capitalism. It's already up and running. For examples, see:
It works. It's scalable. Member coops range in size from a tiny pizza joint to Mondragon. Mondragon is a multi-million dollar, multi-national concern. It isn't perfect (yet) but it's constantly evolving, and has already established proof of concept. Cooperative economics can not just work, but thrive.

Mondragon Corporation is the world's largest worker owned coop. Profits are primarily allocated to the worker-members' capital accounts and reinvested in the coops. The highest paid executives are typically paid, at most, around 3 to 9 times as much as their lowest paid workers, compared to the average of about 300 times in the US. They employee about 70,000 people, mostly in Basque Country and Spain. They own banks, factories (auto parts, construction, etc), retail stores, including a large grocery store chain and a chain of gas stations, a university, and R&D centers.
They are proof that you can find success by taking care of your employees. They are proof that federations and co-operatives work. They are a powerful example of democratic economic organization.

@cferdinandi @libramoon @gerrymcgovern
(1.) #Mondragon is a multi-million dollar, multi-national concern. So, yeah, it *is* scalable.
(2.) There is no way we can rip the rug out from under capitalism short of a permanent #GeneralStrike, and even that needs a what comes next strategy. But we can make capitalism irrelevant by building the #LibertarianSocialist alternative to the point that everyone's needs are met. Then capitalism will collapse under it's own weight.

@libramoon @cferdinandi @gerrymcgovern
We do have an alternative system already up and running, #LibertarianSocialism. It's running well, and is scalable.
The worker self-owned, worker self-managed, workplace is the #anarchist ideal.
See:
-
The worker self-owned, worker self managed workplace is the ideal we strive for. It's a proven economic strategy. It's already up and running, it just needs to spread.
See:
Etc.

That's not what the word "Libertarian" in "#LibertarianSocialism" means. Read some history of the term, or at least click the hashtag. Anarchists used the term over a century before it was claimed by these modern miscreants. Today, the word "libertarian" means nothing but "Republicans on drugs".
Libertarian Socialism and anarchism mean the same thing, society and social relations based on worker self-owned, worker self-managed, workplaces.
For working models, see #NoBawc, #Mondragon, etc. It scales. The smallest member of NoBawc is a pizza joint run by a handful of hippies. Mondragon is a multi-billion dollar, multi-national business.

@feike @_Dreugan_ @nerb @msb @randahl
Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic is self-evidently futile. In the short term, we need life boats. In the long term we need a plan. Only #LibertarianSocialism can save us from capitalism. It's a proven system, already up and running (see: #NoBAWC, #Mondragon, etc.), it needs to grow. Capitalism needs to die.

:fed: La cooperativa de cooperatives #Mondragon entra tímidament en el #Fedivers obrint el perfil de @MondragonUnibertsitatea a Mastodon.
Una altra universitat que té perfil a la xarxa lliure, a més de la @ujiuniversitat que ja té instància pròpia on allotja altres comptes.
Ara els hem d'animar a publicar i que les altres #cooperatives del grup vegin que les estam esperant per aquí.

Mondragón no s'explica sense la intercooperació.
Què cal perquè sorgeixi una millor #intercooperació?
1. Relacions de confiança entre les persones per construir projectes.
2. Crear condicions sistemàtiques. Si no ho feim, el curt termini s'imposa i sempre "ens vendrà malament".
3. Intercooperar com a remei contra la endogàmia, un risc a minimitzar.
4. Construir un "nosaltres" i pensar en gran.

In #Warsaw now, last week #Budapest, reflecting on contrasts:
While #DataCooperatives spark interest in the #US (citizen-driven sovereignty), in #postcommunist Eastern #EU, they [ #cooperatives ] still evoke state-owned associations, needing clarity
