Cooperation before accumulation.
- Treat people with respect, kindness and curiosity.
- Disengage if you need to.
- Please use the alt text box to describe images for our differently sighted pals.
- Anarchists are pals, too.
Post about ways co-op structures and public ownership benefit communities by sharing pictures of everyday socialism, linking articles and resources, sharing information on communally owned assets and businesses, promoting local socialist groups, discussions on groundswell socialism, or ask for advice.
Examples: Public parks, employee-owned businesses, free stores, community pantries, little free libraries, articles on socialist principles, discuss profit sharing in a cooperative, ask about setting up an anarchist business model, etc.

I have a few qualms with effective altruism, but ultimately feel they're affecting positive change. Really interesting article, thanks for linking it.
Same. I am unsure whether earning more than everyone to give more than everyone is welrong because it supports the system that brings inequalities in the first place. I believe we need political/international changes for a real solution.
I agree. But, giving is better than hoarding in an already corrupt system. I think their methodology for determining what's altruistic is flawed, though. Only giving efficiently ignores that not all positive initiatives can be efficient, by nature. Like it's cheaper and easy to buy a thousand people a good pair of shoes, not so much to buy fewer people a good computer or a home.
This is addressed by some authors of the effective altruism movement, but I don't have enough insight to go into greater detail.
