But the point is they would still be exploiting each other. There would still be wealthy wage earners who wouldnt want to work for the betterment of society.
There was a question wolff answered in a lecture, i think it was about how education would work under this new system and would our social system have to change to accomodate it. He said it would be transformational and that people when people werent seeing each other as someone to compete against it would change how we relate to one another. Has anyone got a link to that, because it seems to contradict this criticism.

Any expansion or articles on this point?
Blythe is good for learning about economics but he only talks about the european economic problems, not wider issues of how economics relates to other spheres like politics and relations like wolff. He explicitly stated he's not a comrade.
How do you mean?

Co-ops reintroduce socialized control of production and give workers a taste of what it's like outside capitalism, turning them more against it while also giving them the opportunity to learn management skills. If the co-op (or other org) has a revolutionary program, workers can pool resources to obtain weapons and spend time training with them. Especially with something like a large union or syndicate you can have communications over long distances to help establish infrastructure and logistics in the event of a capitalist crisis (which also can be leveraged to turn people off capitalism) or outright collapse/revolution.
The concept is pretty straightforward. If worker organization already happens in the workplace there's less work to do to adapt a lefty movement to the workplace once shit hits the fan.

I get that. I should have specified what does mitigating the effects of capitalism as a tool of propaganda mean?
