The overarching goal of communism is for laborers to own the means of production instead of an owning/capitalist class. Employee owned businesses are the realization of communism within a capitalist society.
It seems to me that most communist organizations in capitalist societies focus on reform through government policies. I have not heard of organizations focusing on making this change by leveraging the capitalist framework. Working to create many employee owned businesses would be a tangible way to achieve this on a small but growing scale. If successful employee owned businesses are formed and accumulate capital they should be able to perpetuate employee ownership through direct acquisition or providing venture capital with employee ownership requirements.
So my main questions are:
- Are organizations focusing on this and I just don’t know about it?
- If not, what obstacles are there that would hinder this approach to increasing the share labor collective ownership?
If only they remained small competing cells. But nearly always grows more and eat the others. Then the big cells say they have to make their employees piss in bottles to survive. They use the arguments of what small cells do to survive to justify the business model that made them huge and allowed them to kill all the small cells.
It’s an arms race dynamic of cut-throatedness where the biggest bastard is favored to win.
What a shit system. What a terrible and disgusting infection of the human mind.
