- 2026-09-01 - USA vs A/I: https://maximalism.blog/usa-vs-a-i-1 - The US has declared a free hosting service for Italian anarchist and dissident groups a "global terrorist organization". Why? What we learn from this, and what it means for Europe, your city council, and your online environment, regardless of your ideology.
- 2026-03-11 - The 21st century we deserve is being born in rural areas: https://maximalism.blog/the-21st-century-we-deserve-is-being-born-in-rural-areas - In a village in the extreme southwest of Europe, we are building a community that combines free knowledge, cooperatives, open technology, and rural repopulation. Around the Juan Urrutia Library—driven by the Center for Maximalist Studies, the Maximalist Company S.Coop., and the Repopulation Foundation—an ecosystem is taking shape where living, working, and learning are all part of the same project. We invite you to get to know us, to become a part of it, and... to contribute.
- 2025-08-08 - Manifesto of the Second Maximalist Congress 2025: https://maximalism.blog/second-maximalist-congress - Manifesto of the Second Maximalist Congress, which we will hold after the summer heat. The manifestos of our congresses are a call to participation and, at the same time, a kind of "framework document," seeking to provide a global and historical context for our tasks and objectives, serving as a basis for coordination between maximalist cooperatives and NGOs.
- 2024-12-06 - Accounting for commoners: https://maximalism.blog/accounting - Accounting is imbued with ideology, but it also provides valuable information. Understanding the former and applying the latter are essential in order to increase the viability of worker cooperatives, social projects, associations, foundations, etc.
- 2024-12-01 - Why is it possible for an unprofitable enterprise to become a thriving worker cooperative?: https://maximalism.blog/profitability_cooperatives - Being viable and being profitable are two very different things, both in the short and long term. Taking the criterion of profitability as a guide for the development of companies increasingly confronts them with their own sustainability and that of their environment. The alternative can only come from associated work.
- 2024-11-11 - Managing the worker cooperative through the overcoming of challenges: https://maximalism.blog/estrategy-challenges - Work and management that is based on tackling challenges sustains the types of incentives and logic that mobilize efforts and encourage workers to take the courageous leap to become a cooperative. Workers thus derive happiness from contributing and from being able to produce the extraordinary.
- 2024-11-02 - The morality of diets: https://maximalism.blog/diet-moral-politics - Are you a better person for not eating meat, and does dietary restriction make you more progressive or more ‘sensitive’? There is a long history behind attaching morality to diet. It is a history that should be known because what if, in reality, what is truly immoral is, for example, veganism?
- 2024-10-22 - Resilience and cooperativism: https://maximalism.blog/resilience-and-cooperativism - Cooperatives build the resilience of human communities that are very different from each other and this is because, when needs and commitment to a cause come together, we need to have at our disposal a mechanical element that allows us to respond and scale up a communitarian response as quickly as possible.
- 2024-10-08 - Education is not training, it is about doing and being better: https://maximalism.blog/education-cooperative - When people talk about education, they usually mean training. But if we really want to learn, we need to abandon the idea that problems can be solved through recipes and procedures. Learning is learning to solve problems by understanding and overcoming them. And in order to do that we have to understand that learning is not only about doing better but about being better.
- 2024-10-07 - What is wrong with the cooperativism of today?: https://maximalism.blog/wrong-cooperativism - The social movement is repeatedly coming up with cooperative-based solutions, but many of those we see emerging are destined to become diluted and collapse, leaving behind a deep trail of demoralisation. Why? What is wrong with the very foundations of present-day cooperativism?
- 2024-10-01 - The awakening of worker cooperatives in Europe: https://maximalism.blog/cooperative-awakening - Europe is currently experiencing a revival of cooperativism and in particular that of worker cooperativism. Despite the fact that cooperatives are invisibilized through the "Social Economy" discourse, thousands of workers in France, Germany, Italy or Spain, fed up with the precariousness of life and work and the absence of solutions proposed in increasingly divisive and aggressive discourses, are overcoming passivity, confronting atomization, organizing productively, joining their families and communities and collectively taking the future into their own hands.
- 2024-09-15 - A brief history of social passivity and some counter-current ideas on how to communicate to confront it: https://maximalism.blog/history-passivity - The growth of social passivity since the late 1980s has been a consequence of the devaluation of work. The first Internet began to reverse passivity, but through social networks it ended up multiplying it until it became the air of the ultra-individualized world we now live in. But what if communicating not mediated by the pillars of passivity were not as difficult as we think?
- 2024-09-10 - Cooperatives and the emerging European crisis: https://maximalism.blog/europe-crisis-coops - The possibility of an economic, social and territorial crisis is open throughout Europe during the second half of this decade. A crisis that could exceed in its effects on the well-being and income of families that of 2008. What can we do from cooperatives?
- 2024-09-05 - Where is cooperativism heading?: https://maximalism.blog/trends-cooperativism - A primary evaluation of current trends in cooperativism
- 2024-08-30 - Collective Interest Cooperatives and Steward Ownership Models: https://maximalism.blog/scic-collective-interest-cooperatives - The SCICs (Cooperative Societies of Collective Interest) in France, the «Steward Ownership» models in Germany and those based on «Assets in Common» in the USA are the spearhead of a new productive cooperativism in which workers share or cede ownership to other agents.
- 2024-08-27 - New cooperativism: https://maximalism.blog/new-cooperativism - The term «New Cooperativism» has been used in academia since 2010 to define cooperative initiatives that go beyond the hegemonic model of the ICA and which promote new forms of cooperativism based on commons that prefigure «post-capitalist» relationships.
- 2024-08-20 - The Fever: https://maximalism.blog/the-fever - «The Fever» is, without a doubt, the best series of 2024 and will probably be remembered as one of the three best series about politics of the last 25 years
- 2024-08-13 - Radical Cooperativism: https://maximalism.blog/radical-cooperativism - What is «radical cooperativism»? What does the debate in the US bring to table and to the future of cooperatives?
- 2024-08-11 - Work community and communitarian work: https://maximalism.blog/work-community - If you type «work community» in the Google search bar, the first results that pop up after you press enter would likely be "click bait" on something mistakenly referred to as «communitarian work». The articles talk about professional «social work», NGO volunteering or punitive community service, but never about what a «work community» is nor what real «communitarian work» entails, an institution as universal and ancient as the commons.
- 2024-08-10 - Bruce Sterling and the dream of transnational cooperativism: https://maximalism.blog/islands-in-the-net - Thirty-six years ago, Bruce Sterling's «Islands in the Net» expressed for the first time the dream of a transnational cooperativism capable of offering its members an alternative that would simultaneously address the erosion of social cohesion that was then emerging under Reagan and Thatcher and the fracture, growing steadily since the post-war period, between the general conditions of life and access to resources and knowledge in the most capitalized countries and the rest of the world.
- 2024-08-05 - How to overcome social passivity and the rise of authoritarian messiahs: https://maximalism.blog/studies-autoritarianism - What demoscopic studies reveal about the current level of social awareness, the rise of authoritarian leaderships and how we can work to bring about real change.
- 2024-07-18 - The European Union must keep funding free software: https://maximalism.blog/ngi - An open letter to the European Commission published by «Petites Singularités»
- 2024-07-08 - How to confront Spanish anti-Semitism?: https://maximalism.blog/antisemitism - In peninsular Spain there have not been any «interreligious conflicts» nor have there been significant Jewish communities throughout contemporary history, yet anti-Semitism has been and continues to be commonplace, invisible yet omnipresent, in the life of today's generations. Why is that and how can we confront it?
- 2024-06-22 - Maximalist Principles: https://maximalism.blog/maximalist-principles - The foundation of Communalia's cooperative model are laid out in the seven Maximalist Cooperative Principles. We go back to the origins and principles of workers cooperativism and we go forward by embracing the new universal commons and by striving to contribute to the global challenges of Humanity in this day and age.
- 2024-05-05 - Introducing Communalia: https://maximalism.blog/communalia - This week we began the registration and legalization of Communalia, an European association of maximalist cooperatives open to foundations, associations and individuals. In this entry we discuss what it is, what is its purpose, why it is necessary and how you can contact us and contribute to the project.
