Okay but how about this for a crazy idea: you earn a higher percentage of the product of your labour with less going to your bosses/stakeholders? And maybe you and your fellow labourers also get a greater say in how the workplace is organised?

Sounds like you should just start your own business.

And who's to say I don't run my own business and work for myself?

Plenty of business owners have done just that, including Henry Ford.

Good for you. You learned how to copy and paste.

Now do you care to explain why that has fuck all to do with what I said?

I'd recommend googling "cooperative". There are plenty of them around the world.

I am familiar with the term, I don't believe it can be applied to every business.
