Most coops tend to be registered as nonprofits in my part of the world for tax reasons, and others have an elected board which distributes earnings though a share structure to members.

You have failed to provide data to explain the context of your input. Thus, still remain off-topic, and orthogonal to the line of observations corroborated with other members experiences.

As initially inferred, unaccountable individuals that normally get away with cowing people tend to destroy shared environments which should be otherwise sustainable in theory.

I agree without relevant data your perspective may be beyond comprehension.

May you find a path to happiness =)

did you read the paper they shared?

[Joel_Mckay]

Off-topic Rhetoric about productivity is unrelated to observations of political nastiness from covert narcissists responsible for polarizing toxic environments.

Talented people with options tend to identify such situations, become disenchanted with being exploited, and eventually leave.

Enhance your calm =)

sounds like nearly every job i've had while working for capitalist enterprises =)

Less Off-topic, as some political theories mistakenly assume theoretical efficiency in control of supply and demand resolves most problems. For these individuals Compliance and Conformity definitions are conflated (which is factually incorrect.)

I have yet to see anything significantly differentiating in populations of Homo sapiens.

Be well, be happy, and be wise... =)

that study is about overpopulation? worker coops have nothing to do about what you're talking about. but if you wanna go down that path, to counter: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-mutua...

>that study is about overpopulation

That is the surprising part... it is not that simple. It does however allude to an inevitable decline under theoretically ideal living conditions, as rates of aggression and stupification increase.

You may be amused by the highlights from the paper, and how it closely resembles numerous punitive subcultures. =)
