The company is and always has been the means of production. Shared distribution of the profits of a company, no owner taking it all and distributing wages.

So everybody should be a contractor? I have done both and I honestly appreciate the benefits of a salary without all the risks and overhead of contracting. Or founding and managing a cooperative.

I have worked for ESOP operations before and you get all the benefits of working for a company, because it is a company, but it's owned by the people that work there, not shareholders or a singular owner. So when the business does we'll everyone makes more money.
