Solidarity Economy in the world

An English-speaking discussion group to promote and exchange Solidarity economy experiences and practices in different language and cultural contexts. If you have a critical mass of people sharing the same language, it could be a good idea to include those who don't speak English, while this group will work rather as an intercultural hub where people from different cultures come to mingle.

DisCo principle #2: MULTI- CONSTITUENT.

DisCOs extend decision-making and ownership to all contributors, whether present in all value chains or affected by the coop's actions.

DisCO is one of the participants of MoneyLab Berlin, an encounter that seeks to shine a light on emerging communities that are starting to organize themselves around sustainable finance, inclusive tech, community-based currencies and progressive monetary systems. 💛

DisCO aims to prototype new and radical forms of ownership, governance & value accounting to counteract economic inequality by combining concepts from cooperativism, the commons, P2P & feminist economics.

First take: "The DisCO Elements" is how do you say, de-groovy? de-gorgeous?

Great graphics, playful & efficient text, links to music & more. Provides a great re-cap of the DisCO model & adds key elements, especially the "Governance and Economic model" (mostly about how to compensate livelihood, love, & care work).

Disappointing to see the value flows software platform still described as "coming soon." Leave "em wanting more.

Nice shoutout to Social.Coop.

Kudos to @Stacco @disco_coop et al.

Feminist Economics is one of the core principles on which DisCOs are based. Our economy should recognise the value of care and unpaid work. We need to view vulnerability as a fact of life.

Only 2 days left! Part one of the DisCO trilogy – the DisCO Manifesto – answers the question why, and the DisCO Elements take it a step further to address the how. It is a call to reexamine the world around you, take action and explore templates for building an economy based on equality, inclusive technology, mutual support and care.

"DisCOs, and the networked interlinkages between them, are meant to facilitate the creation of an entire postcapitalist counter-economy within the interstices of the existing capitalist economy." by Kevin Carson
