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.
Systematically unfair system requires us to continue unchanged to the advantage of an incredibly small number dbags who own everything already, ‘cuz they have all the money to invest’. Good critical thought dude.
Oh don’t get me wrong, it’s a thoroughly unjust system. That is just their argument for perpetuating it. (I could definitely have phrased it better)
And I also believe it’s rigged.
Which means that the only way to win is to break the rules, or play a different game, which sounds more ominous than intended. But I do believe we need to do away with capitalism, or the very least capitalists. Either the $1 billion “you win” cap, or just a wholly different way of economic organisation. Other options are available, but few are as civil.
That’s not a natural outcome. That’s an artificially created made up barrier. That does not justify capitalists. That shows how they have purposefully rigged the system to be reliant on them.
Can’t afford to take the chance. Most startups fail and people generally only see the succes cases. If you’re not dependent on work you can afford to take chances like this.

Show them wrong?
Funding is stopping me. Lack of investment money to get started. Access to capital.
I don’t have the luxury to stop being an employee, even momentarily because I need the income
Can you imagine to post your idea and look for participants on lemmy?

They’ve designed the system intentionally this way, to keep people dependant on them.
Agreed. It’s very hard to beat the system from within. And their arguments only make sense within it.
Now if only there was a way to break the system… 🤔
