Cooperative Agorism keeps spreading: Thank you Tom Woods for your work!

Being a Swede, I have some interest myself in these historical tendencies. (We've had similar and overlapping movements, for obvious reasons) These are all possible applications that you mention of course and many probably quite good at that, but it should be said again that Cooperative Agorism is not limited to Konkins traditional Agorism or to Co-Ops. Such confusions could happen easily and severely hold back the movement.

It's good to see a social democrat comment positively on a "capitalists" blog. I would much more so prefer we got along and created those things we can all agree that we would benefit from, rather than simply stay dug down in our trenches... once in while firing over at the other side.

Center libertarians (most often simply called "right wing" libertarians) sure could learn a lot from studying the successes of past socialist movements in general I think. As we have always been in oposition to most states and often the concept of the state as such, we have had an unfortunate tendency to get reactionary (often right leaning) and reject anything it got involved in, as well as any strategy involving any kind of support network as being "collectivist" simply because it was championed either by the left or the right.

Have you considered taking part in elections in Swedish cooperatives or building societies?

I will be focused on other areas for now, but I'm absolutely open to working within parties and participating in parlamentary politics. The actual available parties that would fit me well are scarce of course, but I see many possible alliances.
