Quote by: Morgan_Freeman Not really. The fact that they are "democratically controlled" is pretty irrelevant, since if any producer didn't like the decisions the management was making, they could simply quit the coop. |
No, it is relevant. If people have a reasonable say in their own work, it does matter.

Quote by: Morgan_Freeman The only thing you provided evidence of is that you have no idea how these real-world coops operate. When I said coops are inefficient, I was referring to true coops, where production is managed democratically. In these real-world "coops", that is not the case. |
No, it is the case in contemporary co-operatives.

Quote by: Morgan_Freeman "do not match perfectly"? Try: "have no similarities whatsoever". |
If they had no similarities to what I desire, then I simply wouldn't endorse the idea, would I? As expected, you've provided zero evidence to show co-ops are not democratic in nature.
Here are case studies again:
