The missing piece of this theory though is “how does a co-op grow to the level of being compete with multinational capitalist enterprise”? I find your comment interesting and hadn’t thought of it through that lens, I particularly like the idea that co-operatives almost demystify capitalist relations of production by revealing “the market” itself to be the cause of contradiction, not “bosses” as such.

But so many comments here are skipping to a stage of play where co-ops control the majority of the economy. I don’t know how that happens unless, I dunno, Apple and Google employees somehow seize their workplace and transform it into a co-op.

Does Wolfe have any particular plan of how to co-operatise the entire capitalist economy?
