Do you see in the image above that eccentric crew, reader? At the end of each meeting, the special forces are adding up and with little shame the photos are being disseminated on social networks. Yes, they're from Olatu Koop. And ARGIA has become a member, yes. So if you find an ARGIA journalist working on such deep and serious issues next time, don't be surprised, it's because they've joined the sect.
We have to admit that, apart from taking these pictures, important reflections are being made on the social and transformative economy and that alternatives are being put into practice. The social and transformative economy is based on putting people and life at the center above the economic benefits, the workers are the owners of the company and the decisions, the power is managed democratically and puts at the forefront, as its own name indicates, the vocation of social transformation.
The OlatuKoop network consists of companies, associations, entities and cooperatives that work in a transformative way in economy and economic entrepreneurship. They are convinced that Euskal Herria needs a new cooperative wave based on the social and transformative economy, and to do so, on the one hand, it is necessary to fully recover the memory of the transformative and cooperative economy that has already been produced in this country, and with it to visualize and sewing the projects that are currently underway, and on the other hand, to work and promote new projects that impact in this direction.
Understanding that true social and economic transformation will only be achieved by replacing current unjust power relations with egalitarian power relations, ARGIA has also entered this network of companies/projects/communities. Remember that ARGIA has been in the hands of the workers since 1980 and since then is working on this philosophy, taking steps from small and little by little. One more step, therefore.
