    Directly seizing I don’t think would end well. I think it’s one of the short comings of communism.

    Encouraging employee owned companies is where it’s at. But to be honest I’m not sure how you would incentivize that.

      You incentivize the same way unions are growing now. Just show people the benefits and constantly shout it from the highest mountain tops.

      So bb, tell me more about those sweet, sweet employee-owned companies for other readers’ benefit.

      Tell me more about how employee owned companies are better at long term planning. Tell me more about how they’re concerned about balancing profit for survival’s sake with societal good. Tell me more about how they participate in the benefits of the free market via competition while not becoming all-consuming, profit-driven monsters. Tell me more about how they avoid stakeholder-chosen, sociopathic leadership in favor of leaders wanting the best for the company’s mission and its employees. Tell me more about the coffee shop branch that was shut down by its company and reopened as an employee-owned cafe. Tell me more about AAA. Tell me sweet nothings, bb

      (And yes, I’m explicitly not talking about communism because it’s an emotionally charged concept, and i want to focus on things maybe people don’t know so much about)

      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.
