Comment on Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned?
ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoThere are no goal posts here. The workers can’t own the machinery in modern times because American companies rarely manufacture anything so they they own stock. Instead of jeff bezos and a small handful of executives (plus uninvolved “shareholders”) owning the bulk of the amazon the workers own the company. I don’t get why this is hard for you to understand and why you are making strange semantics arguments to defend the right of billionaires owning an obscene amount of wealth.

I understand perfectly fine, I’m just pointing out the fact that you’re wrong when conflating the means of PRODUCTION with the methods of wealth accumulation in a company that actually produces nonfinancial goods and services.
I would never do any such thing. Billionaires shouldn’t exist and in fact neither should the stock market.
