    Great that is what I thought.

    So it provides, absolutely no control over those making decisions abusing that power power for personal gain. In fact even less so though capitalism…

      In what way is democratic control (i.e. worker ownership) “no control”, exactly? If the workers (or rather: the people affected by a decision have a say directly proportionional to how much they are affected by that decision) have control over decisions: how exactly will that power be “abus[ed] for personal gain”? How is that supposed to happen? Also: Why is that supposed to happen? What is the personal gain to even be achieved?

      In fact even less so though capitalism…

      In capitalism, you have exactly 'ero control over what the boss wants you to do in his company,as lono as they don’t break the law (which they can lobby for with their capital). How is that more control than all companies being democratically controlled by heir workers?
