Hi ollie

For more info re Co-ops / Sustainablity 

re co-op movement in Bristol check www.avoncda.coop
www.upstart.coop or internationally www.ica.coop


the radical end is the workers model in which there is 
a totally flat non hierarchical structure, (Essential) in economic
terms labour is employing capital for surplus within a 
free market; this is not Capitalism this is Anarchy in 
action - just as autonomous spaces,  housing co-ops and food co-ops!  
Tho many the co-op movement dont see it that way. Dont matter!
Is more important what you do than say -plenty of people will see themselves as socialists
social democrats whatever - but the results more important than the label!
 From Prodhoun, to Spanish,to Argentina all ended up in organisation of housing, food and economy 
thru co-ops and collectives: So lets get on and do it ourselves!
In economic terms in Capitalism Capital exploits labour for profit: totally
opposite and the whole shitty hierarchical culture follows from that: this 
is more powerful than goverment and its only when that changes any significant
change will happen.
Sorry for the rant - but thats my view!

I came to the last meeting and paul (?) mentioned something about
sustainability. This makes more sense now re. john's explanation of
the more constructive side to the group.

Who else working on this so i can contact them?

I will be at the meeting on 15th.
