Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops?
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?
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.
