Cooperatives, Socialized Power, and the Reproduction of Economic Alternatives

Jonah Olsen and Hialy Gutierrez speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. We will discuss the radical potential and challenges of cooperatives to transform conditions both within their walls and within the communities in which they are embedded. We argue that, through practices responsive to and rooted in community context and socialist relations, cooperatives can contribute to community resilience and the reproduction of economic alterity. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
