Individualist employment makes one a capitalist; thereby advancing capitalism. Worker ownership can mean various things, some more problematic than others. Employee stock ownership is often promoted by employers for reasons I think have to do with getting workers to think of themselves as having a vested interest in the company; and perhaps more importantly to think of themselves as more as investors and less as workers.

I think “worker owned” places too much emphasis on ownership (and the idea that ownership has its privileges). More emphasis needs to be placed on “worker controlled” interests. To this end, worker ownership at less than 51% is meaningless. Also, any meaningful commitment to equality would have to mean either scrapping either the “one share one vote,” or transferrability of shares.
