Gotcha. Is this remotely realistic, though? Not that realism must dictate how anyone acts, but if we are talking practical solutions, wouldn't it be better to aim for something that has at least one precedent in the U.S.? Also, if the "workers" took over, that really means that the UAW takes over. Can such a thing end any way other than with a sort of collective capitalism?
