Last night our Co-op launched its capital raise to buy The Hub Castlemaine for the community! Pretty chuffed with the turnout we got.

Now to see if we can raise the money... Our goal is to buy it for the community and take it out of the speculative property market for good. Members can buy debentures that are like a loan, paying interest each year and then paid back in full at the end.

The non-profit Co-op will own the building, so there's no "shareholders" to cash out in the future for a big profit and quick pay day.

Recently came across the Anti-Capitalist Software License: anticapitalist.software/

Oriented toward a post-capitalist future, the Anti-Capitalist Software License (ACSL) enables the sharing of software that supports individuals, #collectives worker-owned #cooperatives and #nonprofits. Use by entities that profit from exploitative #labour practices is explicitly restricted, however. The ACSL makes a clear distinction between #commerce and capitalism: commercial use of #software is permitted, so long as the organization concerned is not structured along capitalist lines. In this way the ACSL aims to give such non-capitalist actors a strategic ‘advantage so that they may survive under capitalism - and outlive it’.

In 2025, the UN is spotlighting cooperative enterprise under the global theme “Cooperatives Build a Better World.” At a time when creative industries are grappling with burnout, extractive business models, and human disinvestment, cooperatives offer a radically different path forward—one grounded in shared ownership, equity, and creative vitality.

Continued thread

Pour créer « un média social européen à but non lucratif qui ne repose pas sur les dispositifs permettant d’exposer nos esprits à la guerre cognitive », cela passe par le transfert technologique de la recherche publique vers des structures de l'#ESS telles que des #coopératives (#SCIC, #SCOP), des mutuelles, des associations.

Alors pour éditer needle.social, nous avons décidé de transformer Profluens.com en Société coopérative d'intérêt collectif (SCIC) et de publier le code sous licence #opensource.

Si la démarche vous intéresse, faites-nous signe.

Nous manquons d'expérience en entrepreneuriat à impact et en animation de communauté open source.

#introduction Hello. Mes passions devenues travail sont : l'économie sociale, les #coopératives en particulier, les logiciels libres et #OpenSource. J'ai de grandes ambitions et pas assez de temps sur terre : transformer la fiscalité pour la rendre vraiment redistributive, abattre le capitalisme et les dominations, idéalement ça mènerait à une planète habitable pour tous les vivants. Et une vie sans extravagance n'en vaut pas la peine : filez -moi les adresses de bons resto gastronomiques!

Legally Canada could expropriate the assets of foreign-owned Canadian media.

Also, why not even pay them the fair price for what they're worth, which is a deal because they've been bleeding them for years.

How? Remember Canada Savings Bonds?

I'd buy a Canadian Media Bond/share.

In a hot second. Also, look up BCRIC shares; I still have mine:
