合作社運動是由面對政府的疏忽，經濟排斥和文化歧視，而承擔起集體福祉責任的人們建立的。 隨著現代經濟模式，連廣大人口滿足基本需求的尊嚴生活也被剝奪時，這種合作精神一如既往地尤關重要。 但是，多年來，合作社發展仍顯得孤立無援，人們對此知之甚少。
<無聲變革> 著手探索加拿安大略省不同社區的創新自助實踐，這些社區通過集體解決他們的需求，也助我們從基進的視角看「合作」。 這些社區都是經濟民主，全球團結和推動新社會變革運動的種子。
它會蓬勃地發展和成長嗎？
The co-operative movement was built by people who took on the responsibility for their collective wellbeing in the face of government neglect, economic exclusion and cultural discrimination. As the modern economy increasingly denies vast sectors of the population basic amenities for decent life, this co-operative spirit is as critical as ever. However, over the years the co-op sector has become insular and poorly understood. A Silent Transformation sets out to explore the innovative self-help efforts of diverse communities across the Province of Ontario, which by addressing their needs collectively are helping to regain the radical vision of co-operation. In these communities are the seeds of economic democracy, global solidarity, and a new popular movement to transform society. Will it grow and flourish?

這一集由本地的女工同心合作社的社員們為我們 介紹美國的全麥烘培合作社，和她們自己所參與的合作社, 對比一下, 了解更多。1960和70年代是美國反抗運動的黃金時期，除了大量反戰、婦女解放、種族平權等等的大型示威和佔領運動之外，反抗者發展了強大的反文化，提出另類的生命觀，包括關心他人和大自然、藝術文化的表達與自我解放等等。雖然運動整體最後在各種複雜社會原因下瓦解，但有志於另類可能性的人仍不斷成立公社和合作社，以企探討把政治和經濟共冶一爐的民主生活。可惜，合作社要求大家堅持的人與人的磨合、了解、溝通以達民主管理，也需要盆生意令社員可維生。這個要求，可能與當時大家追求的個人主義式自由有點衝突，於是很多合作社不多久便倒閉。不過，仍有少數能堅持下去的種子，亦開啟了當代的美國合作社運動。全麥烘培合作社就是其中一間堅持得比較久的合作社，就讓女工同心合作社的社員為大家介紹吧！

In this episode, the members of the local “women co-operative store” introduced us “the whole wheat bakery cooperative” in the United States, and the cooperative that they participated in. Compare and learn more.
The 1960s and 1970s were the golden age of the American resistance movement. In addition to large-scale demonstrations and occupation movements such as anti-war, women’s liberation, and racial equality, the resisters developed a powerful counterculture and put forward an alternative view of life, including caring of others and the nature, the expression of art and culture and self-liberation, etc. Although the movement as a whole eventually collapsed due to various complex social reasons, people who were interested in alternative possibilities continued to establish communes and cooperatives to explore a democratic life that combined politics and economy.
The cooperative requires everyone to insist on the running-in, understanding, and communication between people in order to achieve democratic management. It also needs business to enable the members to survive. It is a pity that, this requirement might conflict with the individualistic freedom that everyone was pursuing at that time, so many cooperatives went bankrupt in a short time. However, there are still a few seeds that can persevere and have also started the contemporary American cooperative movement. The “whole wheat baking cooperative” is one of the cooperatives that has persisted for a long time. Let the members of “women co-operative store” introduce to you!
