Socialism in Venezuela has made illiteracy a thing of the past

Private co-ops are not socialism on a macro-scale, but actually part of capitalism. You just have ownership via the co-op, kibuttz or group of people, workers, whatever, running the entity.

Socialism is state ownership and control of industry. People gettign together to compete in a capitalist system, just because they are the workers forming a collective to compete, is not socialism. That's just another capitalist entity.
