What Co-operative Socialism Is.

 

'So, what *is* Co-operative Socialism?', asks our friend, Alex White.

I offer:

Well, I see Co-operative Socialism as #truesocialism, as the true replacement of Capitalism, and of all other forms of Totalitarianism.

Because it:

   -  Gives everyone a decent living income: not too little, not too much, and provides for most human needs on a Community-provided, Co-operative, Free-at-the-point-of-use basis.

   - Along with a Community-provided, 'Living Income for Everyone' for discretionary, 'Pocket Money for Everyone' purposes.

   - Thus 'Work' becomes a Voluntary Contribution, paid if wished, up to a fair, Socially- and Democratically-determined healthy level., or self-funded by that Living Income payment

   - Aided by a Not-for-profit, Interest-free, Co-operative, Money, Banking and Finance System and Educational System.

   - so, the abolition of Rent, Interest and Profits siphoned off to Capitalist Investors:

     For The Common Good!

   - That means our Country, as a Co-operative Socialist Commonwealth, makes a healthy, sustainable Contribution to the world peace of a global Co-operative Commonweal.

I hope this helps!
