I'm very interested in Obran, which is a worker cooperative that converts and holds privately held businesses into coops. (www.obran.coop)

Seems like a lot of potential for scale and impact. Anyone know of similar organizations?

Please don't use terms like 'primitive tribes' - whoever you think of when using this word might want to discuss the definition of 'primitive' with you. Because whoever limits their group size to about 150 ends up being less primitive than those who never question the infinite growth of everything.
