How cooperation differs from communism

Cooperation is compared to the form of socialism/communism which was actually implemented (e.g. in the former soviet union).

Aspect	Communism	Cooperation
Image of humanity	People are morally insufficient, they must be changed to form the new human.	People are perfect. Only consciousness and insight is missing. People must only understand themselves and the situation we are in together.
Stratification of society	Competing social classes	Cooperating individuals.
Motivation for change	Moral demands equality.	Insight that everybody can be rich if we all work only for others and share the results. No moral, only smartness and selfishness required.
Ownership of things	People own the same amount of things but still own.	People own very little. But the amount of resources people move can be very different and depends on their function in society.
Work	People work for themselves, to earn money and buy things.	People work mostly for others. No money required.
Access to resources	All people should have access to the same amount of resources of any kind.	Cooperation accepts that people are different and people don't mind if somebody moves more resources in a certain field. They are happy to make this possible, to make others rich.
Rules and government	A government is enforcing rules to make sure „fairness and equality” are guaranteed.	No government required. No need to enforce anything. People like to do what benefits others.
Social radius	People care only for their own family. Therefore they still must compete to maximize their familys access to resources.	People care for everybody (or at least for many people in a large circle). No competition but cooperation.
Method of implementation	Class war.	Individuals becoming conscious.
Flow of information	As people are morally deficient, their communication must be controlled by the government. To increase their power, people and the government keep secrets.	Freedom of speech. Free access to information.
Social system	Compassion delegated to government institutions. Government enforces redistribution of money.	No social system. People help each other directly. People give voluntarily because they like it.
