M.

Caitlin Waddick<p>I’m in Thailand for a conference starting on Monday. I will prepare my presentation soon. I may include a 101 on <a href="https://social.coop/tags/cooperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooperatives</span></a> and a 101 on <a href="https://social.coop/tags/communityscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communityscience</span></a> and relate them back to <a href="https://social.coop/tags/solidarityEconomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solidarityEconomics</span></a>. If you recommend resources right now, I’ll use them.</p>

M. Ní Sídach<p>I regularly run into people who struggle with housing and meeting basic needs of survival.</p><p>LGBTQ+ BIPoC disproportionately face unemployment, under employment, food insecurity, living with unstable housing or are chronically unhoused.</p><p>Yet every time I ask to discuss cooperative strategies I&#39;m either ghosted or attacked personally.</p><p>That makes sense among those who believe in class competition, that dog eat dog capitalism defines life, but I often face off with people who promote themselves as advocates for Anarchism and or Marxist/Leninists Communism.</p><p>They frequently attack with easy to disprove claims, often identical to Faux Free Market Capitalists — that Co-operatives:<br />• have been &quot;proven&quot; not to work,<br />• steal support from &quot;real&quot; activism,<br />• are popular with hipsters who extract while contributing nothing to local communities,<br />• only create a few low paying jobs with no benefits before failing and leaving communities worse than before.<br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trans</span></a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SolidarityEconomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SolidarityEconomics</span></a>, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/COOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COOP</span></a></p>

M.
