Communism is to a co-op what socialism is to a guild of freelancers.
Socialism has the government control the main industrial output but you’re free to do and own your own stuff outside of that. Ideally the government controlled sector’s profits would be used to benefit the people again (free healthcare, etc)
Oddly the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is the best modern example of socialism.
So,what is socialism then?
