Re: co-ops

thank you for your response that leads me to my next question:

if co-ops can successfully give people what they want at a price that
excludes "surplus value", then why haven't they become a major factor in
republican-capitalist societies?

(((((((((((((

CB: The capitalists are vigilant in retarding the growth of and destroying any institutions that demonstrate the viability of an economy not based on the extaction of surplus-value. They don't just sit around and let utopian socialist projects creep-up and overcome capitalism.

Be clear. Capitalists are violently opposed to people being able to get what they want ( or need) at a price that excludes "surplus value". They put profit before people.
