Coops are fine. They aren't a challenge to capital, and by communism will be phased out in favor of full collectivization, but for people trying to make things better for themselves it's one of the better methods of organization within capitalism.
I don't personally think direct workplace democracy is the important factor, but instead that the class in power is the working class, and that society in general is comprehensively democratic. Workplace democracy is cool but the lack of it isn't the worst of capitalism.
