    Encouraging employee owned companies is where it’s at.

    What did you think “seize the means of production” meant?

    But to be honest I’m not sure how you would incentivize that.

    Oh, that’s simple - you get rid of the police.

      Seize the means of production comes from a conceptually separate part of anti-capitalist critique then workers’ control/workers’ self-management. It is common to conflate these two strands of anti-capitalist thoughts. It is technically possible to have common ownership of the means of production without workers’ self-management and workers’ self-management without common ownership of the means of production. Universal worker coops only requires abolishing wage labor not private ownership

        I don’t think the person I was responding to is ready for this level of analysis, okay?

          Thanks for assuming I’m an idiot who doesn’t know what I’m talking about. Pleasure to meet you too!

            I didn’t assume you’re an idiot - I did assume that not everyone on here is familiar with a hundred-years worth of anarcho-syndicalist theory, okay?
