Just to be clear. I don’t want the Soviet Union. I want workers co-ops to be the default form of employment followed by government employees, and a small portion of unionized companies with private ownership and self employed folks to fill in the gaps here and there with an understanding that over time the unions will buy out the private owners of their shares.
So you don't want a Soviet Union. You just want a... an elected local, district, or national council of workers to control the economy... but, like, a bunch of them in a kind of amalgamated political body?
Damn. Nobody tell this guy about Lenin's NEP.
basically the thing Russia had before the Bolsheviks killed all the communists, the thing they promised. just listened to a six part podcast on this if you want a link.
Google "Anton Denikin" and then get back to me about who killed the communists.
