ALso, regardless of whether they substantially own the firm, they will still be compelled to behave in the same manner of all competative firms, and shed jobs at the relevent point of the cycleof accumulation.
Further, it would retain the inherently alienating features of the modern capitalist production system, and even if it was installed as the system across the world, it would not lead to universal human emancipation. Ok, the betting would be tha competing teams of workers would stop competing and work together, but that would inexorably lead to the abolition of proerty and money (Hooray).
