Co-operative socialism and land issues

Co-operative socialism and land issues 

co-operative socialism abolishes the ownership of economic resources and replaces our relationship as humans with economic resources including land air sea electromagnetic radiation frequencies, etc, etc. with agreements for Co-operative care ship 


these agreements are designed to ensure that remediation of land is carried out on a co-op basis. It's one step on from the idea of a fully repairing lease in such place. 


The lessee's agree to hand back the resource in As good Estate as they went into the lease. 


in an agreement with the community for Co-operative careship of land the idea is that the people who agree to care for that land resource decide and agree to improve the land and at the end of there? Use for the common. Good of that land resource the land is in better shape fertility. Etc than when they went into the agreement for Co-operative care ship. 


For those of us. Who approached these matters in a religious or spiritual sense? 


We are talking about pan n theism. not pantheism which is the idea that everything is God but rather that God is present within everything. 


accordingly 


if we take control of an Economic Resource and use it for our own purposes or that of our family or particular group even if it is a co-operative. then selection implies 


removal from attachment as part of the whole. 


in co-operative care ship the idea is that the co-operators and it could be a single cooperator decide to adopt and implement the plan for Co-operative socialism including the Co-operative values and principles from the international co-operative Alliance as their principles and values by which they will care for the resource. 


this applies as much to physical land the air the seas and Waterways electromagnetic radiation and also to what I might call frozen land. In other words buildings tools equipment anything where land based resources have had value added to them in order to help human beings live full healthy and happy lives. Which leads us to the question of wealth creation and also workplace organisation that's the next topic.

workplace issues in co-operative socialism 


in capitalism work is simply a demand upon the lives of people to provide for the capitalist maximum return in the shortest possible time. 


this creates immense inequality which means that everyone the manager's the capitalists the workers unemployed the retired children infants babies teenagers students everyone suffers 


So in co-operative socialism every workplace is reassigned to a cooperative structure one of four possibilities in the social economy. Wear a market using money still exists for as long as money is used by people. The two co-operative workplace forms are either monopolies. Which are organised as community cooperatives? And market based social economy Enterprises which are organised as individual worker cooperatives. 


the common Bond to all of this are the Co-operative values and principles that are contained in the Statement on the Co-operative identity from the international co-operative Alliance which co-operators worldwide refresh every 30 or so years as they are doing at the present time. 


so that a new statement on the Co-operative identity not statement of the Co-operative identity is published after agreement. 


One way in which workplace cooperatives can ensure that they remain true and faithful to the Co-operative values and principles is for them to carry out internally and annual co-operative audit so that play review The Years work. And decide that if there are values and principles which they didn't pay attention to during the last year. They will try and so in the year to come. 


So in parallel with those market-based cooperatives community cooperatives in the Monopoly sector worker cooperatives in the diversity of provision market sector there are two forms of operatives, which will serve well in the solidarity economy. 


again, where these Form and natural Monopoly then they need to be community cooperatives, which will require funding as long as mum still is used by Society so that they can function. 


In the diversity of provision aspect of the solidarity economy, then those cooperatives. Gain by worker cooperatives each one of which will require some form of subsidy by the community in order to carry out their work. 


for example 


the royal national lifeboat institution forms a natural Monopoly in a particular area And so could receive as it does at the moment community support in terms of finance and individual support in terms of activities as Lifesavers those Lifesavers will not need to be paid to do this work. They will probably volunteer as they do at the moment, but since they will be receiving a guaranteed not means-tested or not mean tested living income for everyone. They could decide that is their contribution to society and they don't need to add to that through paid work in the social economy sector. Which brings are to the questions of incomes and will deal with that in the next section?
