Co-ops are often dismissed as attempts to create islands of socialism. But building democratically controlled tech infrastructure can be part of a wider movement for working-class power.

      I’m in a very rural part of the USA. My electric, telephone(landlines which I don’t have), and internet are all coops. They are all very efficient and inexpensive. I’m very happy with them.

      Right now. Just grab some of your friends and sign onto contracts to buy and share things together.

      Food coops are the most common. I imagine tools would also be pretty easy to jointly own.
