Wide spread coops in every sector would be way better than what we have, but coops don't have to be revolutionary nor do they have to seek an end to wage labor and private markets in the whole economy. Like how unions ended up not being all that revolutionary.
But people might actually develop some serious class consciousness if 50% of people worked in a co op, too. Hard to say.
Like a lot of tactics and strategy, it's probably best to support the growth of coops just like we seek to support unionization and just like we supported Bernie's campaign as a multi-pronged attack on capitalism.
