Like unions but even worse. That's how it would work.

It means you set up these localize committees made up of representatives elected by workers who run the industries in the area. They set production quotas, make management decisions and so on and so forth. You could call those committees something like...I don’t know...soviets. These “soviets” would report to regional committees and ultimately to a national committee we could call something like...I don’t know...the politburo.

Isn't the idea that they would have worker soviets who elected leaders to make some decisions while the soviets in general would make others? It would never work on a widescale of course but I think that is what they mean.

It's obviously a dumba** philosophy, but when the people you are selling it to are dumba**es, it sort of sells itself.
This is the fallout of an uneducated, dumba** population. People immediately gravitate to shite like this. And elites wait in the shadows ready to benefit.

There are really a lot of companies that operate this way, and some of them are very successful. Fender music company was/is owned by employees and I know of several big trucking companies that are in this kind of partnership. I don't know exactly how it works, but the employees are still just mostly employees, but are paid with some stock?
The idea is everyone would share the profit. No one person making more than the other. But we know our fellow citizens. Not everyone puts in equal work. So no, it would never work.

Ben and Jerry’s is the #1 ice cream business. Last year they made over $800 million in sales. Stop being fooled, all successful businesses are 100% about profit

So why aren’t they giving their ice cream away?
Oh yes...that’s right...capitalism.
Ben and Jerry’s doesn’t exist under communism / socialism.
Now before you try to tell me about Sweden being “socialist,” allow me to enlighten you.
Sweden is not a socialist success

I can more than guarantee B&J didn't get into the position they are without being cut throat business guys. They put on a nice show, and that makes Karen happy when she pays $7.99 for a pint of ice cream at the store, but those guys love capitalism whether they admit it or not.

Wal-Mart does have a stock sharing program with their employees.
Which is smart. If you want employees to care about the stock price then give them some.
