0·2 years agoSocialism vs capitalism is a false dichotomy. There are other alternatives like economic democracy or mutualism where all companies are democratic worker coops. There are other critics of capitalism besides Marx such as the classical laborists like Proudhon and their modern intellectual descendants like David Ellerman

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Are there any political or social movements that try to mandate all business be worker owned cooperatives and how can we support them?

David Ellerman developed the underlying arguments against the employer-employee relationship with inspiration from classical laborists. They focus on property rights instead of value as you do. With the property theoretic framing, employers own 100% of the positive and negative result of production while workers as employees get 0%

Mutualism is not socialism as it has been defined in the 20th century @leftism
