I see more what you mean, from what I've seen those specific requirements are just a feature of some cooperatives, not definitional to them, but for the sake of the point I know what you mean better now. I don't think cooperatives are an essential prerequisite for socialism, and can be a part of socialism like agricultural cooperatives in the PRC, or Venezuela's communes, but aren't strictly necessary for socialism.
