I’m sorry but you’ll not convince me. I still think such world isn’t viable economically, and has design flaws. Capitalism would work better is people weren’t selfish. Communism would work if people weren’t selfish, probably. Unfortunately, it’s not the case.

Thanks for being respectful though, appreciate it.

I'm still hung up on you "economically viable"...

So, because no one would be allowed to exploit the people for profit, it's not worth making the world a better place?

Even in the current capitalist society we have, a co-op can make money, (which is then shared equally with workers).

If every company and business were, by law, a co-op, without changing any other factor of society, you'd see all of that excess wealth that's normally hoarded by the few reinvested into making the economy stronger.

Because right now, under capitalism, we're always on the brink of a massive recession/depression. This is by design. See, the super rich can't buy up everything on the cheap, if they don't crash the economy every few years.

And that's your economically viable. Working more hours for less pay so that a rich asshole can buy yet another vacation home.
