[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4822508, member: 63706"] See, that's why definitions matter? Guys you listen to slap the socialism label on just anything to confuse people. I don't believe I've ever stated that I'm against co-ops. If they can be successful enough to replace companies that have corporate structures, I don't see a problem with that. But to call them socialism is a misuse of the word. They could be communistic, if everyone shared everything and no one owned any personal property, but I doubt that's what's happening. I've spent a lot of time thinking about company structure, as I am planning on starting my own business, and I understand the problems with corporate structure. I am trying to come up with a way to compensate employees more in line with the value that they create, rather than simply paying the market rate for labor. Problem is that sharing the wealth also means sharing the failure. If the company doesn't make money, no one gets paid. [/QUOTE]
