That's the case. What's very good about the cooperative model is that each cooperative can be managed this way. It's the members who decide how they want to manage things.
If there is a surplus, it's up to the cooperative to decide how the surplus will be used. The priority is keeping the heating and lighting on. Then, the members must decide whether they want to reinvest in their cooperative or in the community. They must ask themselves how they will use this surplus. Community members are the ones who have put the money in. That's why we say that it's a social finance model.
