@hosford42 Small addition to this one: worker co-ops can still be for profit. They definitely solve self-imposed worker exploitation, as you said, but operating for-profit in a capitalist market there are still some negatives there.
E.g. they can still take investment that requires growth (because of interest), and while the co-op structure puts a cap on infinite growth, while competing in a capitalist market they’re still incentivised to grow for economies of scale.
