@AuroraGlacialis: Cooperativism is an idea that comes from Socialism but the reason it has been a success it is because it has been set with a capitalist end goal of that group of people making some money. Cooperatives for collectives never worked as well at all. And no Actual democracy is nothing but mob rule I rather be ruled by the law than by a mob and it's whim of the moment.
Other than that and given that we seem to agree on education and voluntary action as opposed to imposing a vision to solve the overpopulation problem in the world particularly in Africa, I'd say hat we are almost on the level here.
