As a member of the Finnish social democratic party, I am happy to see that cooperatives can harness support across the spectrum from communists to libertarians.

In my country the cooperative movement was built on the other hand by the labour movement as the "third branch" along with trade unions and the social democratic party, and on the other hand, by the center-right agrarian party.

In Italy the cooperative economy there has been built by liberal reformers, communists and the Catholic church. I cant think of any economic idea so profound that would be supported by so many from so opposite political leanings.

What I think is especially important is to create platform cooperatives like Resonate, a cooperative alternative to Spotify, that allow anyone from anywhere to join in a matter of few clicks. One of the problems with cooperative model has been that it has not been able to create truly international cooperatives. That is, until Resonate!
