Socialist Capitalists

[Agnapostate]

There seems to be significant support on the forum for the prospect of socialists with ideological affinity for workers' ownership and management acquiring financial assets and funding and directing the day-to-day activity of the labor cooperative, often a competitive firm in the capitalist economy. This organization trend has an empirically proven record (http://www.jstor.org/stable/2524912) of superior efficiency to the orthodox capitalist firm.

To clarify, I'm fully in support of the movement and hardly think it oxymoronic and contradictory, as the misinformed and nearsighted seem to mistakenly do. Regardless...do socialists make the best capitalists? :D

How would they make good capitalists if they don't exploit anyone? Production is just production, it can be done for any reason or any task, so to say. In that sence, socialists makes good fascists, because they successfully merge state with corporation, which will in that sense become cooperation. Why do you think they called it the dictatorship of the proletariat? :D
