No, they are not. The USSR and China (only in theory) had/has public ownership and it is quite different than the workers comtrooling their business.
When the public owns the means of production you open up the likelihood of the state directly oppressing the workers as happened in the USSR and China.
Economic systems are not viewed in terms of who "rules" unless we are taking a Marxist perspective.
The first sentence of the post is and will always be completely untrue.
Do you not get that what Jesus said in regards to naked, hungry, and sick people is in no way undone by what you claim (regardless of the degree of accuracy or lack thereof)?
They go criminal we also act criminally isn't a good path to go down.
Why are so many people in this thread advocating extra judicial action when many/most of us are complaining about the GOP doing the same?
As I have told you he has to have the right to defend himself against the charges. He never faced a trial so he never has had an opportunity to defend himself.
I hate Mayor Adams. I wanted him sacked when he hired his brother to a job said brother was unqualified for in his first few days but there is a process to remove him and none of those steps have been met other than presenting the charge.
Yeah that's not as common as people who have never run or managed a company or budget think.
The reality is your maintenance staff isn't going to have the skill set to make rational judgements outside their expertise.
There isn’t an inherent value to making all businesses democratic because very often most workers have no idea how the larger company works as a whole.
I work for an import company. My union warehouse steward is constantly judging the financial health of the company based on the volume of boxes he is shipping. The problem is he has no idea the relative value of those boxes so while he’s bemoaning we sent out 1/4 of the number of boxes on Tuesday that we sent out on Monday he’s missing that the total value of Monday’s sales were 3x Tuesdays. In 5 years of working with the guy he has never wrapped his brain around this. Our company would be much worse off if he had a say in how it works because he simply cannot see the larger picture as those skills were never developed. This is not uncommon and I myself have been the guy who cant see that larger picture in other roles.
Should the janitorial staff have equal says as to the executives in how funds should be allocated? Do we recognize that not everyone has the same skill set and level of skill as others?
Not in this case it does not.
The first sentence is not true. The second sentence is absolutely true. It is funny how that works.
Do they need to be public property or do they need to be in the hands of those working there? I’d be more inclined towards the latter as in most cases the public as a whole is not going to have an informed or educated perspective on how specific jobs/roles/companies should behave.
The thing is if you want to maintain rule of law then you need to follow those rules. You can’t just decide to ignore it when you want to but then pretend you have any legitimacy. That would make you no different than any other dictator.
Removing him without the opportunity to defend himself is NOT the rule of law.
