Michael Moore Calls For Public Ownership Of Auto Industry.

If you've been reading my blog before, you'd know that I support the ideas of participatory economics,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parecon and worker's self managementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers%27_self-management, on a purely voluntary and private co-operative basis. I feel therefore that the workers themselves, instead of the government, should be given shares of the company, and then be able therefore to share the profits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_sharing Here is what Michael Moore proposes however. http://www.alternet.org/workplace/110051/michael_moore%3A_save_the_auto_industry_and_kick_its_ceos_to_the_curb/ As I've mentioned before, I do feel that socialization is perferable to subsidization. However, I also feel that free-market private enterprise, without government involvement, is better yet.
