Farmers coops are similar to a looser, employee owned corporation acting in the market. Just as there is minimal capitalist competition within a firm, there is little within the co-op. But both operate in a market economy with incentives and price signals provided by that economy.

If so the evidence of history weighs strongly against you.

Ever hear of farmers coops?

Sometimes the collective is stronger than the individual. Sometimes not.

I find it fascinating their reaction whenever there is a discussion about another economic system, particularly if that system has a socialist overlay. If capitalism is the unmitigated success they believe it to be, why so much fear and anger and aggressiveness?
