To not question relationships or practices and examine their value and contribution is something I find bizarre and truly struggle with. It may be that the current support to Labour is the correct course of action but it is essential that it is weighed and the value it brings considered. If our political goal is the promotion of cooperation and cooperatives we must ask ourselves - what progress are we making? What is that money buying?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214879400514384313.post-81228665320947404302013-02-09T06:29:03.464-08:002013-02-09T06:29:03.464-08:00As one of those autonomous activist types who is o...As one of those autonomous activist types who is openly hostile to Party politics, I have always seen the establishment of co-operatives as a form of direct action - a direct response by working class people to social and economic problems that we cannot wait hundreds of years for a political system to change. We take matters into our own hands in the true spirit of self responsibility, self help, solidarity and self determination.<br />As the current machinations of government show, Parliament is still largely a preserve of the elite and even the gains made by working people risking their livelihoods and their lives in the earlier parts of the 20th century are being eroded. The same problems facing us now (poverty, lack of housing, huge gap between rich and non-rich) existed prior to 1911.<br />We can take control of the economy by controlling the means or production and distribution of wealth at the local level without the need for legislation. <br />In the same way the Labour movement took a wrong turn focusing too much energy on reformist political gaming instead of what had been successful syndicalism, for the Co-operative movement to put too much time, money and energy into politics is a diversion from our real goal.<br />I'm not naive enough to think a real threat would be legislated out of existence but I think the way we would defend our movement would be by sheer force of numbers as much as by tinkering around the edges of the political machinery that is ultimately controlled by civil servants rather than the quasi-democratic unrepresentatives who think they are in control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
