Quote:To save the masses, co-operative labour ought to be developed to national dimensions and, consequently, be fostered by national means."
we mus' start somewhere..whatever leads in the right direction. Corbyn talks a great cooperative game with the national resources behind his plan. any business up for sale must be first sold to the workers..who can buy if it is feasible, financed by the government if necessary.

Quote:Yet Marx said that they should nevertheless be developed. He was cynical and pessimistic, but still thought that isolated co-ops served a function. He said they were, quote, "a transformative force. Their great merit being that they practically show that the present system can be superseded by a beneficent system".
So he thought co-ops represented a kind of symbolic alternative; as a system driven by the needs of communities and not by profit, they served as way to inspire people. A way to get people thinking of practical and living example of alternative systems.
well of course! this raises the debate to a real level, a truly useful level.
this is precisely why I say transform the cricket administration into a cooperative. it can work, can be made to work. everything is in place to allow it to work well. all that is necessary is to form the coop and apply the rules, at the same time making available to all the information and courses that may be necessary for them to know what a coop actually is and how to run it.
that would be an ongoing educational process for as long as it is necessary

There's a good book called "The Cost of Regime Survival". It compares the development of Guyana and Trinidad over the last 100 years, and the different choices they made. It essentially shows how Trinidad pursued links with the US and UK whilst Guyana became their and the IMF's enemy. For every "right" decision Trinidad made, Guyana took the opposite approach, to disasterous effect.
Things will probably balance in the future, Trinidad going down, Guyana lifting itself up. That seems to be the way things go.

I mean from the perspective of the world, you are goofy and unreasonable. To me, these are good things.
