I very much believe in cooperatives and am a member of several. However, I always have serious concern when the UN is backing something. They are a part of the disempowering power structure. One only needs to do their own investigating to find out the level of corruption and mal intent theyoperate under. They are not the benevolent force many think them to be. Of course, cooperatives are wonderful--we need not look to the UN for proof of this.We do not need their endorsement! In fact, endorsement of the UN means little in my book. I prefer as much distance as possible from these corrupt power structures.
