In the Great Depression of 1929, nobody could afford the cost of things. So, what did people do? They got together and formed their own mini-governments called co-ops. Some of these co-ops are still around today.
What did a co-op do? Everybody in the co-op did what they could to make and supply something that other people needed. If they didn't have a profession, they simply became labor for those who did.
Some people supplied land they owned. Others built buildings on the land. Others tilled the ground. Professional farmers grew all kinds of crops. Everybody worked. They supported themselves.
Is it almost time to form some new co-ops? Co-ops can be made legally stronger these days, because they could be started as Private Membership associations. PMAs have been legally set in place as a sound structure, keeping standard government out.
I've heard of such co-ops back then but not dated to that far and I believe one of the reasons why such things were possible back then was love and i don't think it will be easy or even possible to form such cooperation now a days where brothers kill brothers over same land people gave out back then.What did a co-op do?

I don't know of other countries so I wouldn't have to speak for them but as for my country, I don't think it will be possible to establish such cooperation now even within ourselves as the principle of having a judas in every gathering can't be evicted.
