Hmm, in Ayn Rand's fantasy worlds, the engineers would be the ones who own the machines and thus reap the benefits. So I think the proper criticism there would be that that's not how it works in the real world, and thus is not a good basis for one's philosophy.

I wonder if there's a term in political science for an ideology where the people who create and operate the means of production should also own and enjoy the benefits from it.

That sounds like it could have something to it. But I wonder - how would the people seize the means of production?

A repost?! On the internet! How could this be?!

2 months is long enough that there could've been many current subscribers that were not yet subscribed then.
