Do You Have Any Political Aspirations?

I mean you were talking about individually producing a TV. How else am I supposed to take that other than you assuming that production is an individual act and that if someone wanted a TV then I meant they had to build one themselves?

No I was speaking in very general terms about production. You filled in the blanks by making certain assumptions and all the sudden people were having to make their own TVs.

"It's nothing like wage slavery. If you are engaged in self managed production and you fail to produce the things that you want that's on you. "

That is your own words. I merely took them at face value.

Now, this may be more "class assumptions" on my part, but I'd wager that the ability to make sound business decisions isn't equal across a given population. Meaning that some people are better than others at managing, strategic leadership, etc.

Would it be possible to develop a business structure that would allow workers to retain some degree of autonomy, while also preserving the concept of business ownership? For example, every business with employees would require shares, and these shares would be split 50-50 between the owners and the workers. This would preserve the ability of owners to make decisions, while also requiring them to address employee concerns. So if you had a really terrible workplace, run by a greedhead, the workers would have the ability to intervene - either by selling their shares (quitting with compensation) or by forcing a change in management.

Assuming something like this setup existed, would there still be wage slavery?
