I’ve known a few in the U.S., and even worked at one. Maybe people won’t become billionaires doing this, but why wait for a complete overhaul of society to implement more of what are good ideas.

I’d also like to see more childcare co-ops, or community shared pre-k schools. Wheres the movement to build communities and pool resources around these business models in the US? In short, co-ops are the closest socialist/communist business model that’s actually implemented in the U.S., so why are more leftists not doing this?

    That’s what public companies are. You buy their shares to help out with business and they share their profits. How much more of them do you want?

      No, public companies and cooperatives are completely different things

      The investors is not who they’re talking about sharing profits with

        No, they’re not different. If you’re creating a co-op - your partners are still shareholders and investors. The only difference is that co-op is private, but public company is… Well, public. But the end result is the same.

          Capitalism and socialism are the same thing.

          You should probably ask more questions and make less statements.
