«Posicionament de l’AESCAT davant la designació de la Capital Espanyola de l’Economia Social»
No hi ha coses més importants per a fomentar i enfortir l'Economia Social?
Al final, li han donat a #Marató. Enhorabona.
Posicionament de l’AESCAT davant la designació de la Capital Espanyola de l’Economia Social - Economia Social Catalunya
Des de l’Associació Economia Social de Catalunya (AESCAT) volem manifestar el nostre desacord per la manera com s’està produint la designació de la Capitalitat Espanyola de l’Economia Social per al 2026. Sent conscients que la decisió correspon actualment al Consejo de Fomento de la Economía Social (CFES), considerem que adoptar-la sense transparència i sense la… Continua llegint »Posicionament de l’AESCAT davant la designació de la Capital Espanyola de l’Economia Social

Un altre apunt interessant: la immensa majoria de #cooperatives fonamenten el seu avantatge competitiu a partir de la seva ubicació geogràfica per a construir #comunitat.
Valor, riquesa i governança romanen locals.
Per a competir amb les grans empreses, les cooperatives intercooperam. P.ex.: les cooperatives de crèdit.
Hi ha excepcions, però poden tenir els peus de fang: grans #coops centralitzades que es basen sobre uns determinats valors i un estil de vida.

#AvuiHeAprès que les #cooperatives, una vegada existeixen i creixen, condueixen les altres empreses del sector a reaccionar.
Si les cooperatives no existissin, els altres actuarien d'una altra forma més salvatge.
Com es pot valorar aquest benefici per a la societat?

AJ Sadauskas@gimulnautti I'm all for socialists learning from past failures and doing some reappraisal.
For example, by acknowledging Soviet Russia was a Russian imperialist authoritarian state that in many ways was similar to the czarist regime before it, and the oligarchy that came after.
My suggestion would be to choose a name that highlights /how/ you intend to be different to past forms of socialism, rather than just titling it "neosocialism".
Democratic socialism? A reformed socialism that retains liberal institutions free and fair multiparty elections and an independent judiciary?
Participatory socialism? A reformed socialism that emphasises public participation in economic and government decision making?
Open-source socialism? A reformed socialism combined with open source movement ideals on technology and intellectual property?
Co-operative socialism? A reformed socialism that seeks to reorganise industry into consumer and/or producer co-operatives, giving customers and workers a direct say in the firms they use?
Nonprofit socialism? A reformed socialism where services are funded by the state through taxes, but are delivered through nonprofit organisations that are owned and controlled by beneficiaries?

🗣️«Les cooperatives no són simplement un esforç col·lectiu de persones al mateix pla. La història ens mostra que el LIDERATGE és essencial.»
Ho afirma @ntnsndr en aquest podcast de Cooperatives First.
També ens diu que hi ha alternativa a Airbnb, Uber, Spotify, etc.
Sí, les #cooperatives de plataforma (@platformcoop). Els polítics les prefereixen i així no haver-se d'enfrontar a grans monopolis transnacionals.
