Although meet.coop is a coop-commons practice, and part of an emergent, transformative coop-commons economy, there are dependencies on the wider, prior, hegenmonic system that cannot be escaped. Any commons is in a dance - a struggle - with that hegemonic system. Thus, the practice of a commons at the present time is a practice dual power. The pressure bears quite directly in a couple of areas: livelihood and contribution, and provisioning of material infrastructure.

The dance of provisioning - Dual power

Struggle between an economy of commoning . . within an emergent ’new social economy' grounded in contributions in 'the mutual sector' . . in contradictory relationship (a dance) with the hegemonic colonial-capitalist economy: commodity production and exchange, State provision, consumerist household economy.
