Socialism will never work because it’s founded on emancipation, and you can’t force people to emancipate themselves. That would be the opposite of emancipation.
I’m not sure if this is a quote, I can’t remember where I heard it.
“Emancipation” in this case meaning emancipation from wage slavery.
Aren’t you describing a coop?
One of the aspects of socialism is that production is undertaken to fulfill a social need, not to generate profit. But yes, I think you can have markets under a socialist system of production… but I’m no expert.
