what exactly is the difference? If all industries become worker owned, is that not worker control of the means of production? Personally, I don't think worker coops will become widespread under capitalism to be a real threat to big capital. However, I think Richard Wolff's idea that they are practice for worker bottom up democracy which can be implemented under capitalism is correct. edit: i read your comment as "democratically owned" instead of "democratically controlled." In that case, I advocate the former, a socialist seizure of the means of production.
