That’s an oxymoron. There is literally no such thing as a capitalist cooperative. By definition, co-ops are socialist.

Co-ops and unions are certainly steps in the right direction, but they’re more like temporary band-aids over Capitalism instead of implementing proper Socialism.

How so? Cuba has one of the most open democracies in the world. Plus free healthcare, no homelessness, and enough free high level education to provide Italy with doctors during the pandemic.
All while the US has an embargo on them for 60 years now to prevent them from trading with other countries, which will hopefully change once China’s Belt and Road Initiative is complete.
Clearly this model works. It does require expelling landleeches, plantation owners and billionaires if they don’t comply (like Cuba did), but I don’t think most people would be mad about that.
