How are you less dependent on capital when you’re buying the exact same groceries and experiencing the exact same exploitation but instead of providing for your family it’s just your neighborhood
And everyone’s paying the same amount too. It makes no economic sense. The group cost is the same, you’re just giving the product to someone else for free. Organization should be done to fight exploitation by the system, not to disengage from it
improving material conditions and creating a sense of community is an important step to getting people to buy into socialist ideals in this country.

you need to organize labor before labor can revolt. Organized labor doesn't exist anymore, that window was closed and things like mutual aid and then dual power can reopen it.

everybody has labor as an asset to donate to mutual aid, so yes while everybody can't donate currency, people can donate their labor and this helps them realize the value of it!

no. but once you reconcile Kropotkin's views on mutual aid with Lenin's on dual power and Marx's overall philosophies you get a pretty good sense of how a socialist society could evolve in America.

if you chose to yes, but obviously jumping to extreme examples like a Nurse who works long exhausting shifts is, well, extreme.
but yes, a Nurse could choose to take their experience and trade it for something tangible they need from someone with a different experience.
