thank you for your response that leads me to my next question:
if co-ops can successfully give people what they want at a price that
excludes "surplus value", then why haven't they become a major factor in
republican-capitalist societies?

CB: The capitalists are vigilant in retarding the growth of and destroying any
institutions that demonstrate the viability of an economy not based on the extaction
of surplus-value. They don't just sit around and let utopian socialist projects
creep-up and overcome capitalism.
Be clear. Capitalists are violently opposed to people being able to get what they want
( or need) at a price that excludes "surplus value". They put profit before people.
