Capitalism: Cooperation vs Competition

October 10th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in Business Networking

Which is better? Cooperation or competition?

The Republicans typically like Capitalism and the Democrats generally support Socialism.

There are elements of both of those isms that some would consider bad, as well as elements considered good.

Imagine taking the best of those two isms and combining them into one. You could call it Cooperative Free-Enterprise or even Cooperative Capitalism.

Some refer to this as Cooperation Dynamics. Cooperation Dynamics is based on the free-market model of capitalism. Rather than the dog-eat-dog, Win-lose, competitiveness often found in capitalism … Cooperative Capitalism is successful through cooperation where everyone assists each other to succeed. Rather than competing with those in your industry, why not cooperate in lifting each other to a higher level and create success for all.

So how is this different than Socialism? Don’t most socialists believe in helping people? Yes, however, socialist governments use force to achieve their objective. There is no force in Cooperative Capitalism. The destructive element of socialism is that in a socialistic society people are forced to behave a certain way. Under a socialistic government you don’t have the freedom to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

With Cooperative Capitalism you are invited to assist others and work together to create a win-win situation for all parties involved. A high level of prosperity and success cannot come about by force, all parties must be willing.
