> Collective ownership of the means of production? I was thinking of proliferation of existing, but still uncommon incentive structures. More stock compensation, in more industries. More co-ops for smaller orgs. More unionization, while not distributing ownership directly, at least balances board memberships. More sovereign trust funds for resource extractions etc... I wasn't thinking state-controlled production, it's been tried, and failed horribly. One reason why US is reasonably stable is precisely because of 401ks. That is, a large middle class has a true stake in the stability of the system, and will not rock the boat. Increase that stake, there's existing mechanisms. > I don't see any of this happening smoothly There's no reason it needs to devolve into violence. Small example: USA-gov specifically needs to co-opt resource extraction, and setup trust fund, like Alaska. This is primarily a political program that we're being hoodwinked into not accepting. The onus is not on evil Exxon, they're not threatening to kill us if we try to (because they don't); the onus is on the american people to actually demand this from our representatives. Violent transformation will throw away the baby with the bathwater. Take what works, dial it up. Devalue (in your heart and actions) what does not work. Vote & advocate accordingly. The doom&gloomers are missing that so many pieces are there, already, today.
