Ah yes, socialists love private equity firms. Well known for that. And you should understand what "employee owned" can mean, It can mean a number of different things, but I highly doubt Bain Capital is a workers' co-op or anything of that sort. It just means they have stock options and the like. I won't pretend to know all the ins and outs, but it's not a worker cooperative like the Mondragon Corporation in Spain, which absolutely does have socialist/anarcho-syndicalist roots.
