    Trying to base an economy entirely on cooperatives, unfortuately, still retains the base problems of market and profit-focused economics. Socialism remains a necessity, even if it can make use of cooperatives at certain levels of development, like Huawei in the PRC.

      I agree, but given the two options I’d still choose to work in a worker-owned co-op while we work towards that higher goal.

        Sure, I can agree with that, just as long as we maintain the necessity of revolution I don’t oppose cooperatives along that path.
