Working at a credit union and advocating for housing coops -- Anarchism lives!

All the necessaries of life should be owned and enjoyed cooperatively.

@@dae6736 renting still makes a lot of sense as long as you're not looking in a global city like NYC or LAX. We've been splitting rent in Brooklyn for years and we recently bought a home in Atlanta together. This is such a common problem that I can't believe we have to figure this out on our own.

@@bgiv2010renting only “makes sense” within the rules of our current capitalist system, but once something like CO-OPs become more obtainable, it’s easy to see renting for what it is, an unnecessary profiteering middleman living off your hard earned savings.

Very informative. He's a well spoken young man.

Why stop at housing? The entire economy should be cooperative.

[@logans3365]

No one said anything about stopping at housing, but it’s a good place to start :)

I thought he was going to tell us about a housing co-op he started or his experience living in a co-op. Did he tell his friend Rachel about housing co-ops so she can finish her education?
