I don't think they thought this whole thing through

Why couldn't the workers organize in the interests of their workplace and decide together to invest in worker education or hiring an educated partner to join the group?

If they wanted they could just hire the previous owner, all that matters is the workers decide

Hmmm, it is telling how every communist I've met irl has been an underemployed sad brain loser who complains loudly about capitalism while sucking the labor of the working classes to fund their super senior year as an english major.

Maybe you should hang out with responsible, hard working people who recognize capitalism for what it is and have souls and appreciation for justice ?

Most "capitalists" I've met are actually poor working class shmoes who lack any class consciousness and has a shockingly dismal understanding of the economy

::frogdowns: "Hurr don't pay workers more money because business will fail it's called BASIC ECONOMICS
:v: but an increase in disposable income for the working class would boost demand for all consumer goods and services because poor people spend the highest percentage of their income
:frogdowns: that's not how it works! I can't hire anyone if the government taxes all my money!
:v: but speaking as a business owner, wouldn't it make sense to never hire anyone unless there was enough demand to require it? It's not like it's profitable to simply hire people just because you have more money
:frogdowns: socialism doesn't work! I don't want to pay for poor Browns , lower my taxes, abolish the minimum wage or I will literally never create another job I'm Going Galt!
:v: that's exactly what we want you to do, please go Galt somewhere else and let your workers run the company themselves
:frogdowns: *goes Galt dies of starvation in a week*

Indeed comrade. If someone risks their finances, forgoes more secure job opportunities, takes massive risks, works 100+ hour weeks, and sacrifices time with their family to start a company that ultimately becomes successful enough that they need to hire multiple employees, of course they should own the company equally.

I cannot possibly foresee any way in which such an economic system would discourage economic productivity or stifle innovation.

the british crown is entirely legitimate because William the Conquor forwent secure job opportunities in france and risked his life and finances to acquire briton. all the people of the UK should be serfs forever because of this fact.

It sure seems like a silly idea when you assume for no reason that the genesis of productive enterprise should follow the current model of market and private capital.

If we become a democracy I guess we'd vote on everything all the time? That's ridiculous, I'd never get any work done, and what right do Joe and Jane Lunchbucket have to vote every day on what kind of soda i have for lunch

100 hours a week taking investors to nice lunches is not 100 hours a week of burger flipping or childcare and LOL at any little Harvard or Yale kid who thinks they've ever seen anyone in their family work harder than a single mother trying to keep her kids head above water.

Television is the retina

Instead of seizing current means of production why don't you pool your resources, leverage capital from the credit markets, and collectively form your own source of production? You won't have to wait around for the big revolution which seems to be receding ever further into the hazy future....
