Co-operative Socialism Defined in Forty Words:
A guaranteed Living Income for Everyone, a Socially-determined Upper Income level, and most human needs provided on a Community-provided, Free-at-the-point of use basis.
Global peace and Co-operative Care by all and their workplace Co-operatives. No poverty, no greed, no harm.
After about 13 years, both of my fitted bed sheerts have ripped. My flat flannelette top sheets likewise.
Human beings need lots of mainly two-dimensional material items: sheets, clothes, walls, roofs, writing, etc, paper. But Mother Natures mostly provides largely one-dimensional and three-dimensional materials (fibres, trees, etc for the former, rocks, including frozen water as examples of the latter.
Hence work by us, The Worked Class, the 88%. Parasiticed by the 2%, The Thieves of those Natural, God-containg, Resources, and their hired Assassins, the 10%.
So, John, what's this Co-operative Socialism thing all about?
I offered the following to our friend and comrade Harry: he had used the terms that I discuss below:
Here in the UK, supporters of a 'Mixed Economy' nowadays are Social Democrats: the right-wings of The (New Zionist) Labour Party and of The Co-operative Party, along with One-Nation Macmillanite Conservatives likewise. Fibs? One never knows from one side of lunch to the other. Nats? Always a mixture.
One hundred years' ago, The Social Democratic Federation of H M Hyndman were out-and-out Marxists so terms change/are changed over time.
Ps I'm not, nor ever was 'A Communist' and my form of #truesocialism is not that of the 'Nationalise Everything' #wokeMarxists like Morrison and Webb. Equally, I'm not an anarchist believing in the abolition of 'The State'.
Rather, my/our plan envisages each Nation State as being Internationalist (ie, Inter-Nationalist as in 'Between-Nations' not in the #InternationalMarxism 'sense') and each Nation State being the Servant/Facilitator of each Nation as a Co-operative Commonwealth (composed of local and national Co-operative Commonwealths). With every Co-operative Commonwealth creating, thereby, by their adherence to the Co-operative Definition, Values and Principles (see the ICA Statement as archived at www.interestfreemoney/papers), a global Co-operative Commonweal (ie the Wellness of all in The Wellness of All).
Hence Points 6 and 7 of our plan (as also on that web-page):
Co-operative Socialism Plan, Point 6: 'Grants not loans to other Countries, not interest-bearing loans to 'Third World Countries' in need: an end to money, banking and finance as globalised warfare.
Point 77: ' All our brothers our sisters, all our sisters our brothers: a Global, Peaceful, Harmonious Co-operative Commonweal'.
Ps I paraphrase, from memory, these two Plan Points. The actual texts as adopted by, say Labour Action for Peace, Occupy London, Bromley Peace Council, Bromley Trade Union Pensioners' Action Association, Bromley Co-operative Party, are at that web-page and in the free pdf CCPA Monitor Reader on Co-operative Socialism, there.
I hope that this helps!
A friend wrote: Who determines the minimum/maximum incomes,the Government? it'll never be fair.
I offer: the short answer is 'Us The People, Democratically.'
In more detail, the Process that the plan for Co-operative Socialism envisages involved The Second Chamber (ie in the UK, The House of Lords: as is or as repopulated on a Citizens'Jury, Randomocracy basis: ie, not! Elected) making two recommendations to the First, Elected Chamber (ie in the UK, The Constituency-elected House of Commons, as now), by the end of July each year, as to the £-amount of the 'Living Income for Everyone': A LIFE for all and the Maximum Income for Paid Work in both £-terms and as a multiplier of the £-LIFE Amount. Then for The House of Commons to issue its response to those Two Recommendations by the end of October each year as part of its Annual Audit, Celebration and Review of the Impementation of the plan for Co-operative Socialism.

A on Climate Change (ie Weather) reading Piers Corbyn.
BThe Conspiracy is to convince us that there is no Conspiracy (Cons-piracy): see Gary Allen, Robin Ramsey etc
C 'The Environment' was dreamed up in about 1977 when I was Head of Chemistry at Eltham Green School, just prior to me starting and the completing my PhD, as a Mechanistic Physical Organic Chemist, at UCL. I can take any-one to the exact spot on the top floor at Eltham Green where I first heard this term, 'The Environment.'
D 'The Environment' was, in my considered view, invented by The Conspirators (probably the Jesuits on behalf of The Thirteen Roman Families: see Dr John Coleman's book, 'Conspirators Hierarchy: The Committee of 300') in order to divert young, passionate people from becoming #truesocialists.

Calling all Parliamentary Candidates who are Independent Democratic and Co-operative Socialists:
. . . . Networked: not Hierarchically-controlled.
Not A New Party!
