Now, both types of cooperatives have very different tendencies. If you study consumer cooperatives, you will find that consumer cooperatives are primarily interested in buying as cheaply as possible and secondly in having as many people as possible in their ranks. They never resist the expansion of their cooperative if they have their true interests in mind. The production cooperatives have the opposite characteristics. The participants will fear competition if they expand, and they have every interest in selling as expensively as possible. This indicates that in the future, salvation can only come from bringing together people with consumption and production interests, in consumption-production or production-consumption cooperatives, where not only consumption will regulate production but where even the size of the cooperative will be regulated, in that consumption tends to make the cooperative as large as possible, that is, to expand and grow, while production tends to set limits to the cooperative. In this way the social structure is created out of the essence of things, out of reality itself. I could cite innumerable cases from which you would see that anyone who is capable of thinking in terms of reality, anyone who really wants practical ideas in their head today, will find the foundations of true, genuine socialization that is beneficial to people in the beginnings that already exist in reality.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Nun haben beide Arten von Genossenschaften ganz verschiedene Tendenzen. Wer Konsumgenossenschaften studiert, findet, daß Konsumgenossenschaften alles Interesse daran haben, erstens möglichst billig einzukaufen und zweitens möglichst vieleMenschen in ihren Reihen zu haben. Sie wehren sich niemals gegen die Vergrößerung ihrer Genossenschaft, wenn sie ihr wahres Interesse im Auge haben. Gerade die entgegengesetzte Eigenschaft haben die Produktionsgenossenschaften. Die Teilnehmer werden die Konkurrenz fürchten, wenn sie sich vergrößern, und sie haben doch alles Interesse daran, möglichst teuer zu verkaufen. Das weist Sie darauf hin, daß in der Zukunft das Heil nur bestehen kann in der Zusammenfügung von Menschen mit Konsum- und Produktionsinteressen, in Konsum-Produktions- oder Produktions-Konsumgenossenschaften, wo nicht nur der Konsum die Produktion regeln wird, sondern wo sogar die Größe der Genossenschaft geregelt werden wird, indem der Konsum die Tendenz hat, die Genossenschaft möglichst groß zu machen, also auszudehnen, zu expandieren — die Produktion die Tendenz hat, der Genossenschaft Grenzen zu geben. Da wird aus der Sache selbst, aus der Wirklichkeit heraus das soziale Gebilde geschaffen. Ich könnte Ihnen unzählige Fälle anführen, woraus Sie ersehen würden, daß, wer wirklichkeitsgemäß zu denken imstande ist, wer wirklich praktische Ideen heute im Kopfe haben will, der findet in den Ansätzen, die in der Wirklichkeit schon vorhanden sind, selber die Grundlagen wahrer, echter, den Menschen heilsamer Sozialisierung.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":236,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/330/1919-05-13/p021"}],"english":["GA 330/1919-05-13/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":236,"en_words":251,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":10155,"original_word_count":9700,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Reorganization of the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA330/English/SOL2024/19190513p02.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
