    I want to see this model grow. It’s good for the people and money’s not siphoned into some private equity firm that would cut all that’s good

      This model is unsustainable.

    • Dr. Shreyash Lal

      May 31, 2023 at 5:12 pm

      I really hope you experience this model which you think is so great. We followed this model when we gained independence in 1947 & continued it till 1991. In those 44 years, we had the largest population of people below the poverty line in the world. Our country was on the verge of bankruptcy & we only had money left for 3 weeks of oil imports. Our Credit score was so bad that even IMF refused to bail us out. We had to put our golds in foreign banks as security just to get loans. Our government was basically forced to open our economy & let corporate entities in. And you know what happened after that? In 32 years (1991-2023), our economy grew by more than 700%. Our poverty rate went from more than 65% to around 22%. Last year, we overtook UK to become the 5th largest GDP (Nominal) & we’re the 3rd largest GDP (PPP) after US & China. Our life expectancy went from 32 years in 1947 to 69 years. Sometimes, I start laughing when I see people from the west who’re born so privileged & have no idea what it’s like to live under that system think how good that is. And don’t tell me not all are privileged. According to my country’s standards in 1991, even your homeless sleeping on the roads are more privileged than the lower middle class of that time.

    • Epicmonk117

      June 1, 2023 at 1:51 am

      @Dr. Shreyash Lal I’m serious. Almost every single so-called “socialist” or “communist” nation in history has attempted public ownership of the means of production via the government, completely unaware that that still results in government ownership of the means, which is the dictionary definition of state capitalism.

    • Dr. Shreyash Lal

      June 1, 2023 at 2:03 am

      @Epicmonk117 I’m serious too. It wasn’t just public sector companies in that era. There were Union Companies too where there was no involvement of the government. Every single one of them failed except Amul. It is a milk company owned by every single farmer who works there till date. Amul is an exception and not a rule. Moreover, these Union Companies aren’t capital generation machineries. So, even if they’re successful, they don’t push a country’s economy forward like big companies do. People didn’t have money to use the products and services of these Union Companies. The progress we had after we opened our economy & started moving towards capitalism is astonishing and you can see it in one generation. My father not even having footwear & walking bare foot to school & living in a mud house with tattered clothes to now when he can buy whatever he wants & lives in a modern apartment. I really really wish you get to experience this system you feel is so ideal. Most of us who has seen that system laugh at y’all explain how bad capitalism is

    • Daniel McSween

      June 1, 2023 at 9:05 am

      ​@Dr. Shreyash Lal Thank you for the thoughtful response (it’s so bloody rare on social media). I don’t know what I believe in economic system-wise. Having lived under capitalism I see all of it’s flaws, which is disheartening.

      Main flaws are companies being too focused on the short term (so for example, media focusing on being polarizing, instead of accuracy), monopolies, and trends of rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. There are lots of others I’ve noticed, like how expensive getting representation in law is.

      I want it to be better. Other systems promise that, but as your example shows have problems of there own, which historically have been worse. Could we implement a verison than these examples, sure (cause we have these examples), would it be good enough? idk.

      Can we modify out current system to make it better? Kind of, it seems like we are only treating the symptoms as they appear. Which sucks. Is there a better way? I hope so.

    So even if you take on more risk you don’t get paid more? How do you incentivize people to take the higher risk/responsibility jobs if you compensate them like everyone else? What motivation do people have to improve themselves and forward their careers if there are no rewards for their work because their “ownership” is locked in? Sounds broken

    • enb080

      June 1, 2023 at 6:50 am

      They do get paid more! Workers in a cooperate have salaries and dividents as two methods of incomes.
      It works great in agriculture. In stead of buying shares with cash, farmers buy shares with their land.

    • ITZ NEPPHEW

      June 1, 2023 at 8:25 pm

      @enb080 And then they lose their land and their money. 🤣

    • ITZ NEPPHEW

      June 2, 2023 at 12:19 pm

      @enb080 You have to determine what your land is worth and then look at the market cap of the company. Then figure out how many shares of the company your land is worth. No company would ever trade land for a large portion of the company. Theyd trade for a rate at about $100 an acre.

    • enb080

    • ITZ NEPPHEW

      June 2, 2023 at 12:26 pm

      @enb080 Yea but the vast majority of farmland is already owned by a corporation. There arent many farmers that own their own land. Even then, a bank owns the land.

    • ITZ NEPPHEW

      June 2, 2023 at 12:28 pm

      @enb080 What youre talking about is literally people getting together and combining resources to start their own company. The word “co-op” is not needed. Its a company.

    • ITZ NEPPHEW

      June 2, 2023 at 12:37 pm

      @enb080 In reality, theres no farmer left in the US who doesnt either own their own company, or is part of a company. There are no farmers left like the ones youre talking about.

      @D.Dahling If the company is owned by its employees, thats socialism. If it’s owned by wealthy shareholders, that’s capitalism. Simple as.

    • Мike Gru

      June 1, 2023 at 3:29 am

      @Epicmonk117 the thing is that someone will be put in charge sooner or later. Because voting for a decision isn’t efficient and every worker would spend to much time and effort, if he wanted to make the right decision (so they will probably vote without any real knowledge of who or what they are voting for). That is also one of the flaws of democracy. But it isn’t as bad for the countries, because the only purpose for them to exist is to promote the interests of people in it (because citizens pay taxes). With companies, their purpose is to serve the needs of consumers (because they pay). Which means, that the consumers should have a say in what they want. And they do, because of free markets. So, if one company makes a decision based on an average worker’s needs, it might not necessarily mean, that the consumers needs would be met, because a worker won’t put in enough effort to make sure of that. So, now we have to go with the system of CEOs, elected by the workers. It is the same problem, but in a milder form. If a CEO is elected by the workers, he migth be hesitant to fire some of them. He also might be an equivalent to populists in politics. Promise a lot, get in power and either do what is needed (serve the needs of consumers) or try to deliver on every promise you’ve made. You deliver on the promise, company collapses and the workers leave. So modern system, where one man is the head of the company and all the other people are working for him is the only thing that is possible. Also, the workers aren’t stuck at the same job. If they might be valuable to another company, they can go there. It is not like USSR, where you are kept inside by someone pointing a gun at you.
      But I agree, that shareholders are problematic. The only thing they want is the stock price to go up. Product can be made worse. Workers can be treated badly. But if the stock goes up and company pays them their dividends, they don’t care. They have also invested their money, so they have real influence. So if there was a way to get rid of these people, it would be great. But everything else in the system is necessary, because it is just the most efficient way to run a company and an economy.

  16. jangoloti

    May 31, 2023 at 2:22 pm

    I have no problem with this approach. The employees/owners have also to accept the risk of placing their capital where their mouth is. If the company goes well, the have both a job and savings in form of a participation in their company. If it goes under, they loose both.
    Let’s see how many employees accept that deal. Ah wait a sec. They wanted to get the company given to them for free?

    The world needs to get a grip. You’re not being exploited in the West.

    Most people have been lazy, reckless with their decisions and living a life they can’t afford or sustain.

    My parents came to the West separately WITH NOTHING and built empires FROM NOTHING.

    You know how they did it?

    They didn’t expect anything from anyone and they didn’t spend their money on drugs and entertainment. They worked HARD and saved through co-operative economic ownership within the family. When they were all single, the entire family worked TOGETHER to build up family wealth.

    Your idea isn’t original. It’s how ALL immigrant, ethnic families came to the West to build a life until people became lazy, self entitled and Westernized.

    You are doing a Ted Talk on something that has been going on for ages. Brilliant.😅

    This will only work for certain kinds of businesses, and even then the business will only survive until a competing business with a traditional capitalistic structure and that is ran by people who are willing to take on the higher risk that results in the business growing and outcompeting the employee-owned and ran business.

    • ben low

      June 1, 2023 at 1:31 am

      @D.Dahling there’s no reason to be impressed, this is already a thing that can be done today. She’s not sprouting anything new. You and 10 of your mates get together to form a company equally and chip in X amount … guess what you’re shareholders to the company and get a percentage of the profits. The problem with this is , if the company doesn’t do well you get no salary and no profits. People work for companies because they want a steady salary as the bigger companies can weather through the bad years. There is literally nothing stopping you from creating a business this way, whether it is successful is another matter. Which would you prefer high risk high reward (ie ownership startup where you put initial money in), or low risk stable reward (ie stable wages). The fact that people are impressed with her shows how little they know about company structures. Google types of businesses and see how her model is different to a company or a partnership.

      There’s a difference between the government owning everything and the specific company workers owning their own company. Lots of Americans get pay + stock/options (esp. for example in tech). It’s just borrowing the ideas from the CEO incentive structure and using it for everyone in the company.

      @RogerAckroid
      I just Googled “how many cooperatives are there in the world”
      Answer: “There are 3 million cooperatives worldwide; together, they provide employment for 280 million people, equating to 10% of the world’s employed population.”
      You are completely and utter wrong.
      Cooperatives are a valid and successful part of our economic system. End of story. If you refuse to acknowledge facts, then we’re done here.

      June 2, 2023 at 5:47 am

      @The American American” Together cooperatives employ 12,595,501 persons or roughly 0.2% of the world’s population” is the first figure that I find in Google. It seems more realistic because how many people do you personnal know that work at a cooperative?

      I guess the figure you give take into consideration agricultural cooperatives, which is a model that can work because it’s less risky and doesn’t use so much capital (the main capital is the land that the individual farmer owns personnaly, not through the cooperative).

      Agricultural cooperatives is not what this short talks about.

      And some of the cooperatives that exist in the world are due to state providing the funding, which is more akin to communism as I mention in my first message.

      @RogerAckroid so farmers are not a part of the global economic system? Sure ok Buddy.
      Also, please define communism.

      @The American American is this short about creating cooperatives for selling your farm output? Or is it about having cooperatives for industry and service jobs?
      Farmers are irrelevant in this discussion.

      Communism is when the states owns and finances the means of production. If the state is the one giving the capital to the cooperatives it will in a sense own the means of productions. Also, since no one is personally financially accountable for a failure of the cooperative, responsibility is diluted and it would be difficult to take hard decisions (like layoffs or business model pivot) if the cooperative is in danger.

      @RogerAckroid
      “What exactly is communism?
      When it was first used in the mid-19th century, communism referred to an economic and political theory that advocated the elimination of private property and the common sharing of all resources among a group of people; in this use, it was often used interchangeably with the word socialism. Today, the word communism usually refers to the political and economic ideologies originating from Karl Marx’s theory of revolutionary socialism, which advocates a proletariat overthrow of capitalist structures within a society; societal and communal ownership and governance of the means of production; and the eventual establishment of a classless society.”
      Directly from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary

      Last I checked, cooperatives are and would continue to operate in the global capitalist system. Best not to throw around terms that you’ve no idea actually mean.

    In my experience the worst companies are worker owned.

    You can always buy a company. The only thing stopping you is lack knowledge.
