> Surely one has to prefer theoretical upside over the certainty of servitude. I don't think there is servitude in high tech jobs, so there's no certainty either in my view. The issue I have with the theoretical approach is that it often falls short in the real world and you end up with a mess where everybody involved is surprised. I'd like to see those well-run unions (or republics, or corporations etc etc) before believing in them. So far, my impression is that they only exist on paper or on very small scales, but as soon as they grow to significant size, the usual processes set in and you end up with a problematic organization. Sure, one can say those aren't well-run, but that sounds too much like No-True-Scotsman to me.
