We always get a ton of questions about this: “What are Open Coops? Are they the same as Platform Coops? Is Open Cooperativism Utopian?” etc. So we thought hard about it and wrote this in-depth analysis of both approaches and why the matter. >From Platform to Open Cooperativism <https://www.loomio.org/ahoy/messages/rYLs2qomCF9el45txjKeYnsXhcmppGpZ/click?signature=59d60cf9bcacbc8a1de0528a8f43120af2eebe91&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcommonstransition.org%2Ffrom-platform-to-open-cooperativism%2F%3Futm_campaign%3Dnew_discussion%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dthread_mailer> Here is an extract: Rather than assuming a digital backbone, Open Cooperativism explores how open data, ecological stewardship, and the active production of Commons might expand and revive established cooperative traditions, even reclaim the idea of a Cooperative Commonwealth. Open Cooperativism argues that it’s not enough to have a better Uber or a more democratic AirBnB: we must tackle issues like housing and transportation head on. The root causes of our dysfunctional, destructive economies can’t be danced around. — Reply to this email directly or view it on www.loomio.org <https://www.loomio.org/ahoy/messages/rYLs2qomCF9el45txjKeYnsXhcmppGpZ/click?signature=8531ff06eb3d7936bc60d6c049086eb810607bee&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.loomio.org%2Fd%2Fd1ZcSMvy%2Ffrom-platform-to-open-cooperativism%3Futm_campaign%3Dthread_mailer%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dnew_discussion>.
