Just for the sake of clarity: when it comes to co-ops, I’m talking about things like credit unions and mutual banks and building societies, and retailers like S Group in Finland, or Coop Danmark. Also agricultural co-ops like the various Indian systems - Amul, especially. Also small-scale informal ones like South African stokvels and Indian microfinance initiatives.
Not a hippy sex cult that happens to sell shoddy dreamcatchers by the side of the road, or whatever strawman fantasy people are picturing.
