    I know people who work for employee owned companies right now and they are making a metric shit ton of money.

    What most of the Tankies on Lemmy seem to want is to recreate the Soviets where the Government makes the decisions. That has never been anything but the easiest way to set up a dictatorship.

      I can’t speak for everyone here but I’m fine with everyone making a shit ton of money at co-ops. Personally I couldn’t find one for my profession in my city. ☹️

      No, what socialists actually want is for this paradigm of worker ownership to be writ large across society.

      And the reason for that is - it is no measure of comfort to be told “mice are well within their rights to enter the lion’s den”.
