I might be able to star working on a big co-op after finishing college, I understand its not the best it can be as they exist in a capitalist system, but I think my living conditions will be better than working for some other company, what are your thoughts?
Edit: Thanks for all your responses! I will try to get to work there when I finish college, maybe in the future I can help some of your projects with the co-ops funding programs!
They’re good but since they operate within a capitalist system they therefore have to have some degree of capitalist mindset, bringing forth some issues.
You should check out Mondragon (the company in the picture) and see what they do. It’s miles better than any regular capitalist org.
Edit: didn’t see you linked to Mondragon wikipedia page lol. If you want to see co-ops on a bigger scale, look into how Basque Country operates. A majority of the country operates on a co-op system with success.
Welp, Im exactly asking because I live there and I might be able to start working for Mondragon, part of my family already works there. How would I go about looking into how the Basque Country operates? (I realize its a litle silly for asking about the place I live lol, but my mind is fried with college stuff right now)
Good question. I don’t know really. I read a lot about it in a Dutch book. But using Google ‘Basque Country co-ops’ may be of use.
Cool opportunity to work at a place like that.
