This is all stuff you hash out when you create a co-op. But normally you create a co-op, you don't convert a giant multinational into one.
Even giant multinationals have to be eventually converted to worker coops or federations of worker coops because the workers that work in these companies are having their inalienable rights violated as well
I'm not sure I understand... are you saying that your plans don't work on giant corporations, so maybe you shouldn't propose things like OP did?
Well, according to the post, you want to seize the means of production and eat the rich. Sounds delicious! I would love to know whether you're just a bunch of guys having wet dreams or whether there's a framework where this can really work. Tell me how you're gonna seize Amazon and keep it running like it does now.
It depends on the material conditions what specific action would be required. For example, the legal system could abolish the employer-employee contract that violates workers inalienable rights to democracy and to appropriate the positive and negative fruits of their labor. Then, the contract could be reversed so that labor jointly hires capital rather than capital hiring labor. Amazon, in particular, has other issues that should be addressed, but we can ignore that for now
My original questions aren't answered. You're just talking about the temporary procedure, not the long term plan, as in the questions I asked.
