There seem to be two main camps regarding what to do with industries after a socialist revolution: stated-owned companies, and workplace democratisation through worker cooperatives. I’m curious if a hybrid entity could make sense, where maybe the government has some direct control and the workers have some direct control. Is this even theoretically possible or a good idea? Or would it be better if a company under socialism was structured as either one (x)or the other?
I mean, co-ops still need to be organized via central planning. It’s unrealistic to expect co-ops to fix everything by themselves.
