Empowered Resistance through Cooperatives
Cooperatives have long played a crucial role in various social movements and resistance efforts throughout history. They allow for decentralized organization, offering a safer way to mobilize compared to more radical political actions. Historical examples, like Gandhi’s focus on village cooperatives and the English cooperative movement stemming from the Chartist movement, illustrate their importance in advocating for democratic economies.

The modern context reveals that as startups attempt to adopt cooperative models, they face significant systemic challenges. This highlights the necessity of innovating within cooperative frameworks to ensure sustainability and viable livelihoods that align with democratic principles.
