217. Yes, decentralized wealth will be key in any solution.
The problem that I keep trying to point out to you has more to do with your rhetoric than it does with your underlying argument.

I'll try to point it out one more time. You just said this:

"I believe my original response to you had to do with your assertion that worker owned enterprises were no better than privately owned enterprises. Or something to that effect."


But what I am actually arguing is that there is no "difference" between the two. I don't mean this in the sense that one is no better than the other, I mean it in the sense that it is not possible to distinguish between the two.

How will it be decided (much more importantly, WHO will be the decider) when it comes to the question of determining which private owners are the good workers who have joined together in perfect worker harmony to have a stake in what they produce and which private owners are the evil capitalists who are destroying the planet?

How can this distinction be made, by whom, and on what basis?
