The effort to overcome the problems of capitalism is not only ``scientific socialism``. The experiment of Robert Owen is always followed by the modifier of ``fantastic`` or ``utopian``, but it is necessary to shed new light on his experiment as ``the cooperative community``, out of the dichotomy of ``revolution or reaction`` and ``revolution or reform``. The experiment of Owen on the New Lanark and New Harmony is the result of trying to solve the basic contradiction of capitalism, not by competition but by cooperation. It was continued to not only the peasant consumers` cooperation, the movement of a Divine Land, and the socialism of the Love on Kagawa Toyohiko, but also the peasant association, the movement of the village of Jesus on Bae Munsik, Yu Jaeki, and Choi Munsik built the ``Association of Christian Agricultural Study``. The ``Peasant Cooperative Association``, the ``Cooperative Cultivation Kye``, and the ``Independent-Peasantry Village`` of the Chosunnongminsa (of the Ch`ondogyo Youth Party) is also the experiment based on the cooperative community to get over the theory of competition of the capitalism, not on the violent revolution. The essence of the theory of cooperative community is the theory of peasant cooperative education, and the Folk High School (Folkehøgskole) of N. F. S. Grundtvig, not focused on the elite, but focused on the peasants. This influenced on the Nationary High School to build peasant cooperative community of Uchimura Kanzo and Kagawa Toyohiko during the period of Taisho democracy in Japan. And this also influenced on the High Agricultural School, and the Peasant Self-culture School of christian corollary, and on the Peasant School of the Ch`ondogyo corollary. The experiment of cooperative communitarian to dream and practice the another way to stand against the capitalism is the present progressive form, not the perfect tense as the movement of Japanese Coop and Mondragon of Spain.
