My country has a bunch of syndicates, even some big coops, it's not uncommon in Europe. You just need the legal structures for it.

Syndicates and coops are fine, just show me how you do that with power. Police, financial regulations. That usually doesn't work so well.

Even in late USSR coops were a thing and could function, while everything was falling apart. It's just that the pressure of power matters.

Let's start with normalizing it for businesses like game companies! Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good!

The idea that it should be all or nothing is at best defeatist and at worst dangerous - lest you end up with USSR Communism indeed.
