Are we ever going to see guinea pig cheerleaders?

For Nazis “Soviet play” is when you lose a war to leftists and die of hypothermia. After Charlottesville he’s 1 for 2.

But getting 2/2 would require a pretty extreme fetish.

I think one argument I’ve heard, though I’m not sure if Richard Wolff would make it, is that under a totally worker controlled economy, people could make different amounts of money based on where they worked, but profits would be democratically controlled with respect to each company.

So a super successful co-op might pay the average worker 1.5x/2x as much as a less successful co-op, but within each co-op the profits and company decisions would be made democratically, so there wouldn’t be the “supermanager” type of inequality where a CEO/VP would make 10-20x (or more!) what an ordinary worker made.

Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, there wouldn’t be capitalist investment at all in a fully democratized economy, so the sort of extreme inequality of returns of capital investment vs. wages and salaries wouldn’t exist at all.

Then you are operating under a very different definition than most who consider themselves “libertarian”, at least in the US.

So much so that it might make more sense to just identify as an anarchist
