I just watched two videos: 1) VTV's video about FRETECO, with English subtitles, and 2) Prof. Richard Wolff's latest Global Capitalism Report, in which he reports back in detail about the Mondragon Cooperatives in the Basque Country of Spain: watching these, I came to the conclusion that FRETECO and Mondragon Cooperative Corporation could build something tremendous together, especially given that: 1) In the US, Mondragon affiliated with United Steelworkers, the largest industrial union in the US, hence helping USW rebuild its industrial base; 2) in Venezuela, FRETECO has affiliated with UNETE!

Since United Steelworkers joint with UNITE of the UK and Ireland to form Workers Uniting, not only is there the prospect of union cooperatives being founded by extending the USW/MCC partnership from the USA and Canada to the UK and Ireland: if the Mondragon Cooperatives and FRETECO can work together, they may be able to add expand Workers Uniting to include UNETE, together forming the nucleus an international network of union cooperatives!

If I'm interpreting this development correctly, this has the potential of laying the groundwork for a global democratic(Socialist) economy.

Let's do this!
