Socialism in its purest form definitely has cooperatives. Socialism quite literally is society cooperating together to better serve each and every member. If that’s not a cooperative, I don’t know what is.
Can you give me an example where pure socialism has failed, without any other aspect of capitalism attacking it so it does fail?
Yes, let’s absolutely discuss how socialism, in spite of other pressures, has still made society function better. I’ll let you lead with a real life example to discuss.
I have already defined socialism to you. Capitalism is economic system with a profit based incentive, strong property rights enforced by a collective governing system. It is a system that states self interests will drive an economy and society to meet the needs of all. Private ownership of the means of production along with ever increasing profits is its goal with monopolies being is pinnacle.
