So you suggest teaching workers all the concepts of a business?

In order to produce a television, you need the following knowledge:

-Finance
-Economics
-Accounting
-Production
-Management
-HRM
-Statistics
-Engineering
-Electronics
-Communication (B2B)
-Glassworking
-Mining
-Refining
-Technical repair

Since all workers have a right to make a business decision, a production line worker (without any engineering knowledge) might want to make a giant super duper hover television screen. There will be disagreement, and no real authority to lead the workteams.

And the risks of owning a business?

Remember, 95% of businesses fail in a few years, and 37% of business owners go bankrupt. Do workers have a responsibility to take this risk?

If you get fired, you get welfare. If you lose a business, you go bankrupt.

Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
