<p>Hello! We always get a ton of questions about this: “What are Open Coops? Are they the same as Platform Coops? Is Open Cooperativism Utopian?” etc. So we thought hard about it and wrote this in-depth analysis of both approaches and why the matter.</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.loomio.org/ahoy/messages/rYLs2qomCF9el45txjKeYnsXhcmppGpZ/click?signature=59d60cf9bcacbc8a1de0528a8f43120af2eebe91&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcommonstransition.org%2Ffrom-platform-to-open-cooperativism%2F%3Futm_campaign%3Dnew_discussion%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dthread_mailer" target="_blank">From Platform to Open Cooperativism</a></h2>

<p>Here is an extract:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Rather than assuming a digital backbone, Open Cooperativism explores how open data, ecological stewardship, and the active production of Commons might expand and revive established cooperative traditions, even reclaim the idea of a Cooperative Commonwealth. Open Cooperativism argues that it’s not enough to have a better Uber or a more democratic AirBnB: we must tackle issues like housing and transportation head on. The root causes of our dysfunctional, destructive economies can’t be danced around.</p>
