Reposted by tone.audioThe Cooperative Economy @cooperatives.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Boycotting plutocratic big business is good. Supporting alternative systems is even better. When you spend at a co-op, your money benefits community members, not a wealthy elite. You also support a democratic institution in the economy, which strengthens democracy overall. Shop co-op. 28630
