No, absolutely. But I think that's their idea of a "world without corporations" -- that the worker-owned factory cooperatives will enter into relations with each other. And the larger structure of those relations will somehow evolve through their interaction (which will be conducted through the internet) and through democratic regulation exercised through government.
