First, you need to spell-check co-ops. Second, what are these "new commons"? It seems to me that worker-owned enterprises like co-ops are the #1 way to solve all these problems, as I lay out in this article, which I think is my most important article. Theoretically the issue should bring together well-intentioned people from all parts of the political spectrum. Worker-owned and controlled businesses are the only way people can start to control more and more of their own lives on a grassroots voluntary level on their own initiative that does not rely upon politicians, charismatic leaders, or other outside people to save them.
