Resumo
A Coop Livres é uma rede ou plataforma solidária que une consumidores, produtores e entregadores em um cotidiano de atividades que articula trabalho e política. Guiado pelos valores da autogestão, da solidariedade, e da autonomia coletiva, o grupo é movido pela vontade de construir uma sociedade igualitária, democrática e inclusiva, assim como pela necessidade de gerar trabalho e renda para seus integrantes. Este artigo apresenta a experiência da Cooperativa Livres - seu histórico, funcionamento, conquistas e desafios - recorrendo à memória do vivido pelos autores, eles mesmos cooperados, para demonstrar que a atuação da Coop Livres reforça relações de reciprocidade social e econômica. Ao organizar o consumo, a cooperativa mobiliza vínculos anteriores de afinidade política, de proximidade territorial e/ou de identidade social que são reafirmados em um cotidiano de atividades que aproxima consumidores, agricultores e entregadores ciclistas, estabelecendo uma plataforma de relações solidárias. Ao reunir pessoas de diferentes origens, condições e situações sociais, que experimentam os processos de reprodução social típicos da economia capitalista de modo desigual, os membros da rede demonstram a possibilidade de construir uma nova sociedade a partir de uma nova economia.
Coop Livres is a solidarity network or platform that unites consumers, producers and deliverers in a daily activity that articulates work and politics. Guided by the values of self-management, solidarity, and collective autonomy, the group is driven by the will to build an egalitarian, democratic, and inclusive society, as well as by the need to generate work and income for its members. This article presents the experience of the Livres Cooperative - its history, operation, achievements, and challenges - based on the memory of the experience lived by the authors, themselves cooperative members, to demonstrate that the work of Coop Livres strengthens relations of social and economic reciprocity. By organizing consumption, the cooperative mobilizes previous bonds of political affinity, territorial proximity and/or social identity that are reaffirmed in a daily activity that brings consumers, farmers, and cyclist deliverers together, establishing a platform of solidarity relations. By bringing together people from different backgrounds, conditions, and social situations, who experience the processes of social reproduction typical of the capitalist economy in an unequal way, the network members demonstrate the possibility of building a new society from a new economy.
