You talk as if with corporations a single person can be held responsible...
You can have syndicates and get close to socialism
Show me where.
My country has a bunch of syndicates, even some big coops, it's not uncommon in Europe. You just need the legal structures for it.
Thats then syndicalism which is a form of socialism
Yeah but only when it's the dominant form of doing business? We have a bunch of them in my country but we're definitely still capitalism.
shit, the average public corporation is a more representative democracy than the US's actual government is.
With voting power weighted by the amount of money they have invested.
Kind of like the way the US actually works.
I had to scroll back up to make sure I was stilling the same thread
average US corpo is just 1 vote 1 share, just right there it's more equal representation than the US government has been for it's entire existence.
throw in shit like recalling/installing new c-suites etc.
far more responsive/equal form of government than the clown show that is US "democracy"
And an individual can hold multiple shares. So some have more votes than others. That's not democratic in any way.
That's a lot harder than you make it sound. That dysfunction is the main executive pay relative to performance has massively inflated over the years: accountability to shareholders in matters of compensation is piss-poor.
