I'd say 1 person owning most of the money made at the company is the problem

To solve it everyone just needs to form or join a private unionized cooperative that doesn't go on stock market for sustainable growth and so everyone at the company is making a lot of money too

Then collectively you all grow the pot that is available for all of you. Better to all be making 1,000,000 each and then grow it together to become 10,000,000-100,000,000+ for each of you

That is the root issue. Not enough of that

This doesn't solve the systemic pressures within Capitalism, nor does it describe how to get from A to B. Your idea still depends on your one firm outcompeting other firms, which is difficult in saturated markets.

I recommend you look into Marxist theory, I have some recommendations I can make.

True but at least it's a good step to take. More stuff will be useful as well

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

I'd say it would be a good step to take if I thought it was legitimately possible in the current system. If it succeded, it would be good, but such a strategy has never worked before and there's no evidence that it will.

yeah instead of having all the money controlled by a few billionares, lets have an extremely powerful govt have that kinda power. great idea /s

It is better for the economy to be controlled by the public than by private interests, yes. You can study the democratizations of the economy made in AES states, and how the lives of the working class made the largest improvments.
