      the end goal is probably some crazy AI powered planned economy with no private enterprises at all.

        Karl Marx saw coops much like unions as an interesting tool within class struggle and proably transition. A socialist economy would have no privat enterprises (coop or otherwise), no markets and no money. I never understood why the modern left has such a hard one for coops. Capitalism is shit not because all the capitalists are evil, but because the profit motive has it's own logic, it would be the same logic in a coop. A rational economy is a planned one, that doesn't mean that it must resemble the hyper centralized top-down soviet model of planning.

          I have a hard on for coops in the context of a transitional phase, I think that's what most actual marxists have in mind. Having all private enterprise be coops would probably soften the damage market logic does at least somewhat.

          There's probably a lot of socdems that think coops are the be all end all of socialism though.
