Then start a business and run it that way, no body is stopping you or anyone else from doing it. The reality is most business owners risk their entire financial futures and lives on their business and work insane hours for years to get them into a position where they are making large profits, many of which fail long before they even get their (part of the risk of running your own business), yes there are many CEO's that don't deserve what they earn but they are by far the minority. I think you will need to provide some proof/citations that cooperatives are better, as current evidence does not seem to support that.

Cooperatives don't produce as much economically since most aren't fully profit oriented. But less risky business practices also makes it so that cooperatives generally excist longer.

I only know of 3 cooperatives locally, all have gone bust. (one milk producer, a recycler and a clothing manufacturer). Cooperatives are generally too inflexible to survive in uncertain economic times (one of the reasons you don't see more of them), I am sure there are some success stories too but I doubt they outnumber the failures, when you run at lower profit margins a small downturn can mean the entire business goes broke.
