[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4629176, member: 56035"] I dont think we covered it so thx for answering. i also dont believe their popularity is based on their effectiveness anymore than trump or biden are the nominees based on their qualities, anymore than capitalism has only existed a few hundred years. Ill look it up again why they havent been more popular. 1 thing with economic democracy is quite often its crushed by internal or external forces. This happened in spanish civil war, russian revolution not sure where else. Why arent honest politicians more common? Why does everyone wear beats headphones when they are nowhere near the best for the price? Id guess most ppl have never thought of or heard of worker coops. they know they dont like their job but theyre not smart enough to say its because its undemocratic. What about politics? U are indifferent to dictatorships or democracies for the same reasons i assume? According to u ppl arent competent enough to vote. Btw as u know coops elect their own managers. I agree specializing is more efficient but it can also be boring or physically tiring instead of rotating positions. I will also look up the worlds biggest coops. U went kooky first thing yesterday. We were having a mature convo. btw is there anywhere a pure capitalism with no govt has ever existed? doubt it. so isnt that a fantasy? [/QUOTE]
