Capitalism typically refers to an economic and social system in which trade, industry and the means of production (also known as capital) are privately controlled (either singly or jointly) and operated for a profit[1][2]

Wolfman, in another thread wrote:TCR, Anarchist Spain and Titoist Yugoslavia are both good examples [of successful autogestion]. Although this is taking the thread too far off track.
The things you put forward is a strange mixture - and often either incoherent or internally inconsistent one at that - of worker-run cooperative, market socialism and a misunderstanding of what socialism is
How you put together Spain and Yugoslavia as your examples is also curious.

Wolfman wrote:So, while profit remains, the method of attaining profit is vary different. It's not about how high up you are in the company, it's about how much you actually work (things like education level, rank, or years of experience affect pay rate, but the major reason for getting a pay raise would the actual value to the company).
In other words, you don't precisely know how it would work.
Which seems to be a repeating theme among most lefties who insist on rationalizing economic theories around their moral beliefs.
Those evil capitalists/owners provide an important service by accumulating and moving capital to profitable businesses.
Economic growth will be lessened or even stop
as presumably you can't invest accumulated capital into new businesses or at the least such investment isn't tempting since laws will favour worker-owned companies.
(lest you become an evil capitalist)
workers aren't keen on shutting down their workplace.
So worker-owned companies would tend to make horrendous choices when it came time to evaluate whether or not a business should be shut down.
In the end, the problem with this autogestive interpretation of economic theory is that it assumes a static model for the economy. That once you take over an economy and its businesses, nothing will ever change. Resources won't diminish, consumer preferences won't change, new technologies won't be invented. And that is why it will fail.
There's a rule against Necro-Posting. I think you forgot that.
Necroposting wrote:A necro-post is a new reply posted to an old inactive topic. The word necro means corpse and as such the act of necro-posting is replying to "dead" topics.
How old a topic has to be before it is considered necro-posting to reply to it depends on how busy the forum is. Generally speaking if a topic is still on the first page of the forums topic listing then it is acceptable to reply to it. If in doubt just read the date of the last post to the topic, if it is from 2003 then you shouldn't be hitting that submit button.
Necro-posting is generally frowned upon for the following reasons:
* It is confusing for other users when topics from years gone by re-appear.
* Frequently (especially on a political forum) the topic is out-of-date.
* The fact that the topic has been left for so long can indicate that it has been debated to death.
* An old topic with few replies may have already been debated to death elsewhere (use the search feature to check!).
* Dragging up old topics pushes current relevant topics further down the forum's topic listing.
