Where does it say this is limited to capitalist societies?

We only have evidence of it in capitalist countries.

do you really imagine that in a non capitalist society cooperate leaders would be trusted less?

Seeing as China's government is run by scientists and doctors, yes.

So in what society is this NOT the case?

Seeing as China’s government is run by scientists and doctors, yes.

What? How does that make any sense? So what are they saying about their business people? Are they too trusted more? Or are you just making shit up as you go?

No, I misread and thought you said corporate no cooperate. Now I have no idea what you're saying.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT CO-OPS!! THEY'RE USING THE WORD COOPERATE AS AN ADJECTIVE TO REFER TO CO-OPS!

"A COOPERATE MANAGER"

"A cooperate manager." LMAO

This smuck is like: "corporate managers---not to be confused with cooperate managers."
