I’m fine with the idea of a coop for a business. There are people whom I’d want to associate with. There’s a little catch - we all do different things in different areas. And those who do the same things in the same areas as me whom I know - those I wouldn’t want a coop with. I mean, OK, possibly I would.
Syndicates and coops are fine, just show me how you do that with power. Police, financial regulations. That usually doesn’t work so well.
Even in late USSR coops were a thing and could function, while everything was falling apart. It’s just that the pressure of power matters.
Let’s start with normalizing it for businesses like game companies! Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good!
The idea that it should be all or nothing is at best defeatist and at worst dangerous - lest you end up with USSR Communism indeed.
