    Investment Capital should not be a prerequisite for workers to own their means of production.

      I just think production machinery should be properly lubricated. You types always talk about it seizing.

      So they should just be made responsible for tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment because they worked there for a week.

        Yes workplaces should be a democracy, not the dictatorships that they currently are.

          What does a democratic workplace look like? I’ve seen it work on a small scale but I can’t see how having people voting on the direction of the company has any value when their job is not relevant to making those decisions.

          The democracy comes in the form of shareholders. If you want a say in the company you must purchase part of the company and then you get a vote.

        Nobody said anything like that. Keep straw-manning I guess?

      It’s not a prerequisite. It’s just an option that’s available to anyone who wants to own part of a publicly traded company. If you want to own it in the traditional sense go be a tradie plenty of tradies run their own operations.
