I mean, the counter-argument is that nothing is stopping you from creating such a co-op today. You not doing it is seen as a point in favor of capitalism/ruling class.

The rich do not incur that kind of risk when they engage in “entrepreneurial-ship”
It’s clearly over their head.
Which is precisely the argument they give for why capitalists are needed, and thus warrant recompense (at the expense of the worker).
