John Restakis: I refer to co-operatives as the antibodies of globalization because in their nature and in their structure they represent values and systems that are almost a polar opposite of what globalization is actually built on. Globalization is represented by large concentrations of international capital; really controlled through large corporate, multinational structures that are in their nature authoritarian and anti-democratic.
