    You cant use intentional errors in the system as reasons for not wanting to change the system.
    Yes, the groups that control the capital do not want you cutting out their abilty to exploit and parasitically earn while doing no work. As such, theyll stiffle their access to capital.
    Whats your response to the higher wages, quality of life and fewer hours worked by people who work in co-ops?

    Too many midrolls on this 30 minute essay someone else wrote almost 100 years ago.

    What is your response to worker-coops being horrible for a business’s long term financial planning??

      As the other commentor pointed out, you'd have to make a fitting historical analysis to discuss that relating to this essay, however after a quick google search I found this about the contemporary application of your question.
      The premise that "worker cooperatives are horrible for long-term financial planning" isn't backed by evidence. Research shows that co-ops tend to have higher survival rates and better resilience, especially during economic downturns, with lower employee turnover and higher productivity. While challenges like scaling and accessing capital exist, the overall data does not support the claim that they are poor for long-term financial planning.
