put together new forms of organisation with new experiences of
resistance so they are able to make them.
One of these is the People’s Cooperative Of Small Businesses.
We took close interest because of our own experience with coop-
eratives. In our country’s history there have been a number of at-
tempts to establish small business organisations but up to this year
they were not successful.
Small businesses, like the workers, are a sector under contin-
ual pressure from the system. With small businesses you continu-
ally encounter closed shutters or businesses drowning in debt. We
are familiar with the problems of small business as we are familiar
with the bread we get from the oven or the grocery vegetables sold
outside in cold weather. And we believe that organisation of co-
operatives and solidarity will be like medication for such sectors.
We are partners in taking steps to join in the work of small
business cooperatives and exchange ideas on doing so. We have
closely followed the founding of small business cooperatives and
the People’s Bakery. Because what they say and lay claim to is quite
exciting. Hygienic, organic production for the people.
