As cooperators seek such opportunities not only for themselves, but actively for all other working people as well, the slew of social problems wrought by the capitalism-imposed disparity between productive effort and reward, from cyclical unemployment, social dislocation, homelessness, inability of working people to afford medical coverage, etc., diminish accordingly. The friction of so many countries seeking the same limited resources and markets often escalates to military expression, and most wars of the last century are easily traceable to this underlying dynamic. Cooperation, because it resolves this internal antagonism between capital and labor, securing both in the same hands, and in fact creating greater peaceful economic interdependence between nations, each anxious to take advantage of its own comparative advantage once freed from the exploitive grip of cosmopoloitan capital. There is no reason for Cooperators to rape their own environment. They do not seek megaprofits, and do not intend to live in any other environment than that larger community in which they work.
Capital ceases to be mobile once it is in the hands of working people.
There is no profit in environmental despoliation for those who have to live personally with the results. These factories not only produce commodities, they reproduce social relations of domination and exploitation of one class by another. Moreover, unlike other approaches to revolutionizing productive relations, Cooperation elevates the worker to ultimate and direct control over the management, precluding any recurrence of an economically dominant class under any stripe. By demystifying and universalizing effective entrepreneurship, Cooperation effects a classless society. Suppose, now, that our cooperative movement could attract a significant number of people who were sufficiently morally committed to its success as to agree to condition all of their consumer purchases by this understanding.
