I don’t want the Soviet Union. I want workers co-ops to be the default form of employment followed by government employees
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?
with an understanding that over time the unions will buy out the private owners of their shares.
Yes, I want what the Soviet Union claimed they wanted not what they got. You know, like any syndicalist worth her salt.
I’m not claiming that communism is bad, I’m saying that over centralization in the hands of a single party has done more harm to communism than MLs would like to believe.
