Explosion in successful workers co-operatives in Argentina

You wouldn't read it in the MSM

From a poster on Media Lens. Look's like Chavez is serious about his 'Bolivarian Revolution'.

A quote:

"Almost everyone we met during our visit was involved in a cooperative. The 1999 constitution requires the state to "promote and protect" co-ops. However, it was only after the passage of the Special Law on Cooperative Associations in 2001 that the totals began to skyrocket. When Chávez took office in 1998 there were 762 legally registered cooperatives with about 20,000 members. In 2001 there were almost 1,000 cooperatives. The number grew to 2,000 in 2002 and to 8,000 by 2003. In mid-2006, the National Superintendence of Cooperatives (SUNACOOP) reported that it had registered over 108,000 co-ops representing over 1.5 million members. Since mid-2003, MINEP has provided free business and self-management training, helped workers turn troubled conventional enterprises into cooperatives, and extended credit for start-ups and buy-outs. The resulting movement has increasingly come to define the "Bolivarian Revolution," the name Chávez has given to his efforts to reshape Venezuela's economic and political structures."

Very little mention of workers' co-ops in the mainstream media.

For those who haven't seen it, check out The Take which documents the surge of workers' co-operatives in Argentina after the economic crisis in 2001.
