Education

i can't remember the official name, though -- but there used to actually be institutions like this.

in australia and elsewhere too. i was readying about them not so long ago, but i can't remember the name. there was something similar that the unions did as well, but this other was more interesting because it was kind of self-organized and cooperative -- people paid a small sum to belong to this thing, which maintained a building, supply of tools which you could train with, education materials, etc. they were kind of working-class centers of activity for a while.

i think the infoshops were an attempt to do something similar -- rent a space, fill it with literature, offer public programs, etc.

the unions used to do worker education among their members but don't seem to have done that for eons.
