The Mutual Aid Society
Indeed, capitalism has wrought its own demise and given us the chance to undertake the construction of a new society on the ruins of the old one. It is we who have built the world that the capitalists and their servants have appropriated. It is we who will build the next one – from the remains of the previous one. As we are not afraid of ruins.

Self-determined healthcare is one of my strategic topics. While solidarity (social) clinics are known and growing formula of activism, in Polish conditions it is still too radical, and beyond popular grasp. On the other hand, we have a tradition of MD cooperatives, which is just a step from what we need. It is fully legal, assumed official registration (and some creativity). Baby steps will be needed anyway, probably starting from some kind of group purchase (of medical services) scheme.
What are MD cooperatives? Are those mutual insurances in Polish?
Nope. They are Medical Doctors' Co-ops. In principle they are simply workers', or perhaps freelancers' cooperatives in the area of medicine.
