Solisoft
"""
Solisoft is a radical technology collective & solidarity network.
We call it a collective because we’re a small group who make decisions & self-organises work together. It’s radical because we don’t believe technology can “solve” every problem. Very few things actually need an “app”. We think more people should have a say in what technology can mean for society.
We’re building critical connections, not critical mass. We stay in touch with our friends & comrades by building a solidarity network, a friend-to-friend web of connections which fosters mutual aid & inclusivity. You shouldn’t assume we’re “IT professionals” or have computer science degrees; we’re interested in technology for different reasons & come from different backgrounds.
We make decisions by consensus, prioritise fair working conditions and use free software and open licenses. We support individuals, groups & businesses to use technology in ways that suit them. We can help you setup a website, run your own social-media or deploy your own real-time chat system. We run workshops & discussions on technology which provide a non-hierarchical learning environment.
We’re happy to work with local activist groups who cannot rely on corporate tools. We will do our best to prioritise requests from activists doing social justice work (e.g. housing struggle, anti-racist movement).

EXAMPLE OF TWO SERVICES:
* 1) Bulk purchasing by 40% of population in Finland !!! :-O:
"""OP Group-buying platform enables businesses to sell products to OP members. The more members there are that place an order for a product, the cheaper the price gets for everyone."""
* 2) Easy Biz:
"""The commission is 5% for the first 30 000€ billed per year. It does the accounting and taxes, allowing the self-employed to focus on their work."""
#thl #case
* THIS REALLY SHOULD BE UNIVERSALIZED !!!

"Co-ops of the near future could find themselves asking less what they can do for their members and more what their members—and potential members—can do for each other.”

"""
Shows how the creation of an idealized image of the Mondragon cooperatives is part of a new global ideology that promotes cooperative labor-management relations in order to discredit labor unions and working-class organizations.
This is the first critical account of the internationally renowned Mondragon cooperatives of the Basque region of Spain. The Mondragon cooperatives are seen as the leading alternative model to standard industrial organization; they are considered to be the most successful example of democratic decision making and worker ownership. However, the author argues that the vast scholarly and popular literature on Mondragon idealizes the cooperatives by falsely portraying them as apolitical institutions and by ignoring the experiences of shop floor workers. She shows how this creation of an idealized image of the cooperatives is part of a new global ideology that promotes cooperative labor-management relations in order to discredit labor unions and working-class organizations; this constitutes what she calls the "myth" of Mondragon.
