Ideally, yeah.
There's no way to make profits that doesn't exploit the very people who make them possible, and therefore no moral way for shareholders to exist as an economic class. Ownership and it's demand for perpetual dividends on finite investments can't ever be anything other than a machine for extracting value from workers.
Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. So if one wanted to expand and make more one would thus have to divide that amongst more workers. Any expanse, salary, and expense would all be decided and taken upon together.
Indeed!
It's not perfect, but worker-ownership is as close as we get to ethical forms of business organization.
Thanks for taking the time to explain :)
Of course! Online discourse is my favorite way to procrastinate at work. XD
Same! I’m doing it as I watch my infant eat remotes lol
