Richard D. Wolff

Dear prof Wolff, in one of your recent videos you raised the question if coops can compete with capitalist enterprises and you said they can. I would go even further here: they must! As long as cooperatives are founded only for the purpose of sustaining oneself or your own local community, nothing will fundamentally change. Capitalism can only be truly beaten, if we outcompete it. We have to win the game for which they have written the rules. Only then, capitalists will have to admit that capitalism is pointless. Although this is hard and requires a lot of know how and strategy, I think we don't deserve socialism if we can't do this.
