CONCLUSION

What one sees in Nuevo Amanecer is not just a criticism of the capitalist system and the injustices it spawns. Rather, its members have an alternative vision of the 'good' society. Part of that vision already has been accomplished through the coop they have built and continue to develop. Further promotion is taking place through their support for other coops and like-minded social movements both at home and abroad. Nuevo Amanecer is an inspiration for anyone interested in emancipatory projects.
